I’m not sure what to call this design, but it sure is cute! Here’s a new beaded earring tutorial.
These earrings are made from four pieces of bracelet length memory wire, attached together to form an eye shape. These cute earrings can be beaded up in lots of different colors to suit your preference. This tutorial contains affiliate links.
You’ll need the following tools and materials to make your earrings:
1: Pliers. I used my cutting pliers and round nose pliers.
2: Bracelet length memory wire cut into four equal half circle pieces.
3: Earring hooks.
4: Four small jump rings.
5: Two big jump rings.
6: Beads. I used orange and clear glass beads.
Follow these steps to make your new earrings:
1: Curl one end of one of the wires to form a loop using the round nose pliers.
2: Add beads to the wire and leave a 1cm section unbeaded.
3: Use the round nose pliers again to curl the other end of the wire and secure the beads on the wire.
4: Repeat steps 1 to 3 for the remaining three wires, beading two wires in one colour and two in the other.
5: Start attaching the wires together. Take one of the clear beaded wires and one of the orange ones and attach them together using one of the small jump rings.
6: Now attach the other side together to form a squashed circle/eye shape.
7: Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the other earring.
8: Add the earring hooks to each of the beaded eye shapes using the large jump rings. I made mine asymmetrical so that one has an orange top and the other has a clear top.

These arched and chain embellished earrings are so cool. Here’s how to make them.
We have made some different arch and chain earrings before, this one flips them around so that the arch sits at the top of the earring leaving the chain to dangle down gently. I really like the way these earrings move when you wear them. This tutorial contains affiliate links.
You’ll need the following tools and materials to make these earrings:
1: Pliers. I used my cutting pliers, round nose pliers and flat nose pliers.
2: Some bracelet length memory wire cut into half circles.
3: Two short pieces of chain.
4: Earring hooks.
5: Six jump rings.
6: Two head pins.
7: Beads. I used gold-tone e-beads and faceted blue plastic beads.
Follow these steps to make your own arch and chain dangle earrings:
1: Create a loop at one end of one of the pieces of memory wire using the round nose pliers.
2: Add beads so that approximately half of the wire is beaded.
3: Add one of the earring hooks.
4: Add more beads to the wire until there is about 1cm left without beads.
5: Curl the end of the wire so that the beads and earring hook are secured in place. I squeezed my wire a bit at this point so that it formed a more narrow arch.
5: Repeat steps 1-5 for the second earring.
6: Add a jump ring to one end of the small chains.
7: Attach the end of the chain to the bottom of the beaded arch.
8: Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the other end of the chain to form a loop.
9: Repeat steps 6 to 8 for the other earring.
10: Add the faceted beads to each of the head pins and loop the tops using the round nose pliers to secure the beads in place.
11: Attach the newly formed bead charms to the chains with the remaining jump rings.
Now your dangling arch earrings are finished and ready to wear! So so cute!
