You’ll need these tools and materials to make these earrings:

Follow these steps to make your statement earrings:
1: Add one of the cube beads to the middle of the wire.

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!

5: File or sandpaper the ends of the hammered wires so that they aren’t sharp.
6: Take your wires, find the mid point and bend them around the permanent marker to form an arch shape.
7: Add the earrings to each of the arches using the jump rings.
