Egg-celent Earrings
I received these egg-celent egg lampwork beads from D.D. Hess and decided to whip up a pair of colorful Easter earrings. I combined these beads with my own
beaded ear hooks and curling head pins. No, they don't match, but that and the cool colors she used make them fun and festive.
To make these, you'll need:
2 egg lampwork beads
2 beaded ear hooks
6 inches of 20 gauge wire
jewelers' files
round-nosed pliers
flat-nosed pliers
wire cutters
1. Start by cutting two pieces of 3 inch wire and filing the ends smooth with your file.
2. Use the curling technique that I used in my Emma Earrings only make three curls on the end of each piece of wire instead of just two.
3. Slip on an egg bead, and use the loop technique to loop and wrap the wire at the top of your bead.
4. Attach your ear hooks.
