You will need the following tools and materials to make these earrings:

1: Pliers. You will need wires with a square bending nose without ridges so that you don’t mark the wire. You will also need your cutting pliers to cut the pieces of wire.

2: Two pieces of wire. Approximately 8cm long. I used some gold-fill wire.

Follow these steps to make your earrings:

1: Hammer one end of each piece of wire. Hammer on the steel block and continue to flatten the wire until it is wide enough to stop your beads from sliding off. Repeat this step for the second piece of wire so that both pieces have one flattened end.

6: Bend the other side around the pliers to form another right angle. This will form a square shape that makes the top of your earring.

7: Repeat steps 4-6 for the second earring.

8: If your wire had some curve to it like mine did you can straighten it out gently using your pliers and fingers.
