How to make cute knotted earrings! These are adorable.
These beaded knot earrings are really pretty! Use any beads you like to form a delightful beaded knot that dangles from each ear. This tutorial is really cool.
You’ll need these tools and materials to make your beaded knot earrings:
1: Pliers. You’ll need your cutting pliers, round nose pliers and flat nose pliers.
2: Two pieces of tigertail wire, a longer wire will give you a tighter knot. I made my pieces approximately 13cm long.
3: Eight crimp beads.
4: Four smaller jump rings.
5: Two larger jump rings.
6: Two earring posts with charm connectors on the bottom.
7: Beads. I used these mixed glass beads.
Follow these steps to make your knot earrings:
1: Add two crimp beads to one end of one of the pieces of tiger tail wire.
2: Add a jump ring to the end of the wire.
3: Fold the end of the wire around the jump ring and through the crimp beads.
4: Squash the crimp beads using the flat nose pliers to secure the end.
5: Add the beads to the wire.
6: Once you have reached the length you like, add another pair of crimp beads and another jump ring to the end of the wire.
7: Loop the end of the wire around the jump ring and back through the crimps and first couple of beads on the end of the wire.
8: Pull the wire tight and squash the crimps to secure the beads.
9: Trim the excess wire.
10: Repeat steps 1-10 for the second wire.
11: Loosely knot both the wires. Don’t try to pull it really tight, you’ll bend the wire out of shape.
12: Attach the ends of the wires together using the two larger jump rings.
13: Attach each of the knots to the earring posts using the same jump rings you used to secure the ends of the knots together.
Now your earrings are finished and ready to wear. Lightweight and beautiful.

Here’s how to make a double strand bracelet out of memory wire!
This memory wire bracelet is pretty straight forward to make and is a fun way to create a layered look without having to keep track of multiple bracelets! Please note that this tutorial contains affiliate links.
You’ll need the following tools and materials to make this layered memory wire bracelet:
1: Two pieces of bracelet length memory wire cut to the same length. Make sure there’s some overlap at the ends of the wire as this is how it stays on your wrist.
2: Pliers. I used my cutting pliers, round nose pliers and flat nose pliers for this design.
3: Two jump rings.
4: Beads. I used yellow and green glass beads and four green glass decorative beads.
5: Two head pins.
Follow these steps to make your double strand wire bracelet:
1: Take one of the pieces of memory wire and create a loop at one end using the round nose pliers. Do this by curling the wire around the pliers towards the main body of the wire coil.
2: Add beads to the wire in the pattern of your choice.
3: Continue adding beads until there is approximately 1cm of the wire left without beads.
4: Curl the other end of the wire as you did in step 1, this will keep the beads secured on the wire.
5: Repeat steps 1-4 for the second piece of wire. I changed bead colours for this one.
6: Attach the two beaded wires together at each end by threading a jump ring through the loops you made. Once your beaded wires are attached you should be able to open them at the same time and put them on your wrist!
7: As a finishing touch, add two of the decorative beads to each of the head pins.
8: Bend each pin to form a right angle and trim off the excess wire so you only have approximately 1cm left unbeaded.
9: Create a loop at the top of each beaded pin using the round nose pliers to secure the beads onto the pin.
10: Attach each bead charm to each of the jump rings that are attaching the two bracelet wires together.
Now your double strand memory wire bracelet is finished! Make one in Christmas colours to feel a bit more festive!

These earrings have not one, not two… but three hoops! Here’s how to make them.
Do you love it when your earrings to do the most? These earrings are a true hoop statement, made with three hoops that nest into each other. I think these are so cute!
Please note that this tutorial contains affiliate links.
You’ll need the following tools and materials to make your triple hoop earrings:
1: Six pieces of wire in three different lengths (two pieces of each length). The longest piece of wire will determine the size of the rest of the hoops. I used copper wire.
2: Six small jump rings.
3: A pair of earring hooks.
4: Beads of your choice. I used six red timber beads and some yellow glass e-beads.
Follow these steps to make your triple hoop earrings:
1: Create a loop at one of the ends of the long wires using your round nose pliers. Do this by creating a right angle first and then looping that small end of the wire around the barrel of your pliers.
2: Add beads to the wire in your chosen pattern. I beaded mine primarily with the yellow beads, placing a red timber bead in the centre. You can estimate the centre of the wire by forming it into a rough circle shape.
3: Once the wire is beaded, with 1cm left bare, create another loop at the end of the wire. This will secure the beads in place. Open the end loop up a bit and slide it into the loop you made at the start, close it to secure the ends together and form the circle shape.
4: Repeat steps 1-3 for the rest of the wires to create six circles.
5: Take one of the biggest circles and one of the medium circles. Attach them together using one of the jump rings. Slide the jump ring through the loops at the top of each hoop and close it to secure them together.
6: Repeat step 5 to attach the smallest hoop to the middle hoop so that you have a stack of three hoops attached together.
7: Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the second set of hoops.
8: Attach an earring hook to both sets of hoops to finish them off.
Now your cute triple hoops are finished and ready to wear!
