How to add cute square charms to a pair of hoop earrings!
These hoop earrings are really cute! Each hoop has a little dangly beaded square charm which moves prettily as you wear them! This is a really special way to upgrade a basic hoop finding. Please note that this tutorial contains affiliate links.
Grab these tools and materials to make your earrings:
1: A pair of hoop findings.
2: Eight eye pins.
3: Four head pins.
4: Four small jump rings.
5: Four large jump rings.
6: Glass beads. I used yellow glass e-beads.
7: Some accent beads, I used four blue seed beads and four silver-tone beads.
8: Pliers. I used my flat nose and round nose pliers for this pair of earrings.
Follow these steps to make your elevated hoop earrings:
1: Add beads to one of the eye pins.
2: Bend the end of the pin to form an angle.
3: Curl the end of the pin around the round nose pliers to make a loop. This secures the beads in place.
4: Repeat steps 1-3 for the remaining seven eye pins. Now you will have eight beaded pins.
5: Take four of the pins and join them together to form a chain.
6: Do this again for the second set of pins.
7: Attach the ends of each chain together to make a square shape.
8: Set the two squares aside.
9: Add two of the accent beads to the head pins.
10: Wrap the end of the pin around the round nose pliers to create a loop.
11: Repeat steps 9 and 10 for the other three pins, using up the rest of the beads.
12: Attach two of the charms you just made to the bottom corners of each of the squares using the small jump rings.
13: Add the larger jump rings to the top corners of the squares.
14: Using the larger jump rings, slide a charm onto each of the hoops.
Now your elevated hoop earrings are finished and ready to wear! How fun is this design? I love how they move and wiggle as I wear them!
Here are some other ways you can incorporate beaded squares into your jewelry:
