These minimalist earrings are a hit! Make your own right now!
These minimalist earrings are so easy to make, find yourself some sterling silver wire and get creating!
You will need the following tools and materials to make these earrings:
1: Pliers. You will need cutting pliers and some smooth flat nose pliers to make these earrings.
2: A file.
3: Two pieces of sterling silver wire cut to your chosen length. I made mine approximately 7cm long.
Follow these steps to make your earrings:
1: Place your wire in the mouth of the wire at the point where you would like to make your first bend. I made my earrings so they were longer at the back and shorter at the front, so this bend forms the front of the earrings.
2: Using your fingers, bend the wire against the flat nose section of the pliers.
3: Keeping your pliers in place, fold the other end of the wire around the other side. Now you will have a square shaped bend in your wire.
You might need to bend the wire a little, adjusting it to make sure that the longer part of the earring is straight.
4: Repeat these steps for the other piece of wire. Taking care to make sure that the bends are in the same place as the first earring.
5: Use the file to get rid of the sharp ends of the wire, do this on all 4 ends of the earrings.
Once your ends are filed your earrings are finished and ready to wear. Minimalist and oh so cool!
