Follow these steps to make your statement earrings:

1: Add one of the cube beads to the middle of the wire.

2: Add the smaller timber beads either side of the cube bead, I added 10 to each side, but you can add more or less depending on the size of the beads you are using. You’ll want to get a circle about 2.5cm in diameter.

3: Add one of the polymer clay beads to one side of the wire.

4: Thread the other side of the wire through the polymer clay bead to create a loop.

5: Add another four beads to each end of the wire.

6: Add the crimp cover to the two wires held together.

7: Keeping the crimp cover open, add a crimp bead to the wire.

8: Squash the crimp bead using flat nose pliers.

9: Trim the excess wire.

10: Squash the crimp cover around the crimp bead using the flat nose pliers.

11: Use the wire at the end of the crimp cover to create a loop, thread on an earring hook and close it to secure the earring to the beaded design.

12: Repeat steps 1-11 for the second earring.

Now your beaded statement earrings are complete and ready to wear!
