Hop on the pearl trend with these beaded pearl hoop earrings!
I am loving the pearl jewelry trend right now! Here’s how you can DIY your way into unconventional pearl earrings. Contains affiliate links.
You will need the following tools and materials to make your beaded pearl hoops:
1: Pliers. I used cutting pliers to cut my wire, round nose pliers and flat nose pliers.
2: Some wire. I used this wire that I reclaimed from an old jewelry project.
3: Charm connector stud earrings.
4: Two small jump rings.
5: Two medium jump rings.
6: Two larger jump rings.
7: Two small head pins.
8: Two pearl beads. I used these freshwater pearl beads.
9: Seed beads. I used these mixed glass seed beads.
Follow these steps to make your beaded pearl hoops:
1: Curl the end of the wire to form a loop using the round nose pliers.
2: Add the seed beads to the wire.
3: Once the wire is beaded and there is only about 1cm left of the wire left use the round nose pliers again to curl the end into a loop.
4: Repeat steps one to three for the second piece of wire.
5: Form the beaded wires into circle shapes.
6: Join the ends of the wires using the two small jump rings and then set the hoops aside.
7: Add the pearls to each of the head pins.
8: Create a loop at the top of each pin using the round nose pliers. This will secure the pearls on the pins.
9: Attach each of the pearl charms to the beaded hoops using the medium sized jump rings.
10: Attach the earring posts to the top of the hoops using the largest jump rings.
Once the earring posts are in place they are ready to wear! How cute are they?!
