Nugget Hoop Earrings

These earrings are as quick to sell, as they are to make, and great low priced items for craft shows!

Technique: Earrings
Skill Level: Beginner/All


SUPPLIES NEEDED

TOOLS NEEDED

    • Do not straighten first, just cut two pieces of 18g round soft wire, each 4-inches long. Use round-nose pliers to make a loop at one end of each wire, working against the curve.

    • On the opposite end of each wire, measure and mark at ½- inch.

    • Thread a chosen selection of beads onto each wire and use a round forming item to shape each into a hoop until the marked segment meets the bottom of the first loop made, (on a ring mandrel use size 7).

    • Use chain-nose pliers to make a 90º angle on the marked wire where it meets the first loop; continue to use this wire to wrap around the opposite, closing the hoop shape under the main loop; trim and then flatten the trimmed end.
