How to make a cute pair of threader earrings with dangling charms!
These earrings are great! They’re elegant, edgy and minimalist. I like wearing mine layered in multiple piercings, but they look great threaded through each ear too! What pretty gemstones will you use on yours? These ones feature amazing snowflake obsidian globe beads. (This tutorial contains affiliate links).
You’ll need the following tools and materials to make your threader earrings with dangling charms:
1: Pliers. I used my cutting pliers, flat nose pliers and round nose pliers for this design.
2: A file or rough sandpaper for smoothing the ends of the wire.
3: Two pieces of wire. I used this gold-filled wire and cut two pieces approximately 8cm long.
4: Two small head pins that match the colour of your wire.
5: Two beads of your choice. I used these round snowflake obsidian beads.
Follow these steps to make your minimalist threader charm earrings:
1: File the ends of the wire so they are flat and smooth, hold the wires together so you can keep them about the same length.
2: Place the wires in the jaws of the flat nose pliers. I did them together so they would be bent at the same length.
3: Bend one side of the wires around the pliers using your fingers to gently push them down.
4: Repeat this for the other side of the wires. Now your wires will have a square shape bent into the top.
5: Bend the wires gently into your desired shape (getting rid of any unwanted curves etc.) using your fingers. You won’t need to exert a lot of pressure on the wire to do this.
6: Now take the short end of the earrings and bend them gently to form a wide angle using the flat nose pliers again. This will be the start of your charm loop.
7: Create a loop at the end of each earring by bending the angled end of the wire into a loop using the round nose pliers.
8: Once you’ve looped both earrings, you can set them aside for a little while.
9: Add each of the beads to each of the head pins.
10: Curl the end of each pin using the round nose pliers to form a loop that secures the bead onto the pin.
11: Attach the bead charms to the loops on each earring, carefully bending them closed with pliers to keep the charms in place.
Now your pretty, elegant beaded threader earrings are ready to wear! How lovely are these for a quiet date night or for adding some glamour to your social isolation outfit?
