A Variation to the Stud Earrings - dangle

If you have purchased my tutorial earlier, here is a variation to the Wire Wrap Stud Earrings that you can try out. Instead of bending the wire 90 degree to form the posts, leave this wire straight up and longer, about 5 cm which is use to form a wire wrap loops and later on the spirals at the front. Email or leave me comment if you have questions.

And the completed dangle with clover leaves.

Remake - Plastic Coins and Wire Beads

This piece is a remake from a stringed necklace. The rounded rather dull colored beads are plastic. I added a wire wrap bead to give it a bit of shine. And this is all I did today. Hopefully later tonight I can work on my 4th tutorial.

Wire Wrap Stud Earrings By Linda of CrazedMagpie

Here is what Linda has to say about her earrings made based on my recent tutorial - Wire Wrap Stud Earrings.

Hi Mei,

Your tutorial was very clear and concise! See?

The first picture is my first try - came out pretty good! The second, I got brave a little too fast and switched to silver....not as good - but I think the wire was heavier. It didn't want to bend for anything! Those two inspired me to go bigger and bolder although not necessarily better with the third pair.

Now I'll take my sore fingers off to do some housework!
