6: Two large jump rings.

7: Beads of your choice. I used these yellow and blue glass beads.

Follow these steps to make your feather hoop earrings:

1: Trim the ends of the feathers.

2: Secure a leather crimp end around the ends of each feather using the flat nose pliers.

3: Set the feathers aside.

4: Create a loop at the end of each piece of wire.

5: Add your beads in any pattern you choose, leave 1cm un-beaded.

6: Create a loop at the other end of the wire to secure the beads on the wire.

7: Form the wires into a circle shape.

8: Link the ends of the circles together to close it off.

9: Add a feather to each hoop using each of the large jump rings.

10: Add an earring hook to the top of each circle to finish the earrings off.

Now your feather earrings are finished and ready to wear!
