How to make textured arch threader earrings
Here’s how to add some extra flare to your threader earrings… add some texture! Use a hammer to add some glittery facets to your wire threader earrings.
You will need the following tools and materials to make your earrings:
1: Cutting pliers to cut your wire to length.
2: Two pieces of wire. I used some sterling silver wire approximately 4.5cm long.
3: A steel block.
4: A hammer.
5: A file.
6: Tape.
7: A pen or something else that is round to shape your wire around.

2: Once both pieces are textured line them up and tape them to the pen.
3: Bend the wire around the pen to form a curved arch shape.
4: Take the wire off the pen.
5: File the ends of the wire until they are smooth.
