What supplies did you use to make the earrings?
As beads and lucite material are fashionable these days, I thought I would combine the two in one pair of earrings.
I combined two color shades, white and purple, to reach a multiple effect: these earrings can be worn casually or to dress up an outfit for a more sophisticated look.
What techniques did you use to make the earrings?
The technique is very simple. I took a knot- tie metal string and attached the beads onto it. I bent the end and hooked it onto the earring holder.
I chose a simple metal wire string that can be found in any jewelry supply store, and decided to keep its original size. I took the darker purple lucite bead, and attached it to the lower part of the future earring. They I continued with the main focus of the earring, the lucite flower bead and the white faux bead attached together. Lastly, I took the lighter purple bead and attached it to the string. Then I made the final step of bending the end of the string into a hook. I was careful not to bend the whole string, because it would have ruined the earring. Then I took the earring holders, and attached them to the hooked strings. I closed the hooks firmly, so that the earring holders don't fall off.
Tips and Tricks
- Choose a long metal string to be able to attach as many beads as you want.
