Hi this is Julie with beadaholique.com and
I have a really fun Halloween project Korea am a sucker for the holidays
I love them and it's great when you can express here but for the holidays three
children and I think this little pumpkin
earring and I think it's really cute. So I'll show you how to do it.
It is super simple so what you're going to need yes
six-inches' have wire have an antique brass color wire here
24 cage and airing ok and had penned again
army findings are gonna be an antique brass collar I have too little the site
leaves that look like squash leaves
and then I have this vintage this site pumpkin shape
rondel in this wonderful popkin orange color so
how you gonna do this I've got my six inches of wire I'm gonna find a middle
point
to speak a little crease I'm going to go ahead
take my pumpkin put onto my head
and then I'm going to take my wire
right where that creases which is approximately the middle section
miss gonna hold it on one end wrap it around with the other
and is gonna make several
tight little Erica
I just basically anchor that wire on their now on one end
take wanna may leave slit that on
the wire and then and going to make
another rap and another
might take me otherwise
her go ahead my very fun there as well
just see there is a right and wrong side to these leaves
one side is flatter one has a lot more detail so make sure the detail sizes
how basically I'm just waiting to secure these on
now I'm and take this wire going in the same direction as
the other wire. Make a few wraps
going around
that middle head pin wire
those are both secure, they're not gonna go anywhere. What I want to do at
this point is with one my wires
doesn't really matter with which one, make several neat and tidy
wraps going up the stem my head pi. You can just scoot them down with your
fingernail
if there's too much of a gap between them
you when you've gone up a little ways. You have some nice wraps
take
a round nose plier, you could either trim this down a little bit
or you can leave it long. This a personal preference. I'm just gonna grip the
end between the two noses and the round nose
and curve it. I just wanna make curly Qs. So I'm just going to keep grabbing it
and curling it at different parts
go back grab my original part, there we go
bend a little bit more. This one looks a little bit long to me
I'm going to trim it a little bit. Make another curly Q
bring the tip between my round nose
just turning
does not need to be precise
have fun with this
I need to be able to connect this onto my earring
findings. I need to make a simple wire loop. I got these great wire wrapping
pliers. So right above where my wrappings were
just going to grab it with my wire looping pliers there's one that's concave
and squeeze. You could do this with your rounds as well, make a
simple wire loop that way
I just like these round nose pliers. They're
very easy. I just made a loop. I got my flush cutters
snipping off the excess wire
now with my chain nose I'm going to straighten out my loop
now I'll loop at my pumpkin, if I'm happy with how the leaves I'll just leave
them how they are
or I can just bend the wire however
I like. Those are
about the same. It's kinda fun that the leaves are going a little different in direction
so to attach your earring finding, just go ahead
open up the bottom loop just like you would open a jump ring
and slip it on
to that simple wire loop we just made. This one has a little ball on it
You wan to make sure that you hold that upwards
Close that loop back up
we are all
done. So here is our little pair of cute pumpkin patch
earrings perfect for autumn and halloween
