How to Make an Earring Loop

You can use different items in earring designs, such as beads and wire.

Making homemade jewelry can add a personal touch to jewelry you are making for yourself or as a gift. You can add your own customized pieces such as beads to make something you wouldn't find in a shop. Once you attach the pieces to a wire then you must bend the wire into a loop to attach to an earring hook. You can make an earring loop to attach this using basic cosmetic products and household tools.

Things You'll Need

• Headpin
• Beads
• Needle-nose pliers
• Wire cutters

Instructions

1. Feed a hair pin through some beads or the item you wish to use as the earring feature.

2. Grip the wire above the beads with needle-nose pliers. Bend the wire 90 degrees.

3. Leave a centimeter of wire above the bend and trim the rest away with wire cutters.

4. Hold the beads in place with your thumb. Grip the wire at the end with the pliers. Bend the wire back down to the beads to create a loop. You can now attach the loop to an earring hook to wear in the ear.
