Wire and Bead Ear Hook Tutorial

Tammy Powley
1. Start by cutting two pieces of wire that are each 1 3/4 inches long.

2. Use your file to file the ends smooth. (Remember that one of these ends will go through an ear hole, so do a nice job on the filing.)

3. Now take your round-nosed pliers, position the wire at about the middle of the nose, and make a small curl on one end of the wire.

4. Here is where your earring hook starts to take on a different look. Slip on a bead onto the wire, and push the bead down so it is up against the loop you created in the previous step.
