Simple Wire Techniques for Earrings

The June project is another great opportunity to work from your stash of beads because we will be practicing wire work by making earrings. We will make as many pairs as we have time and materials for so go through your closet now and find those outfits that don't have matching earrings and bring beads in those colors. Or make a pair of earrings and buy an outfit to match. :-)

Materials List:

Beads from your stash in various sizes from size 11 seed on up in all sizes and shapes.

Supplies List:

Flat nose, bent nose, and round nose pliers.

Wire cutters. (Wire for the earrings will be supplied by the Bead Society free of charge for all those members attending the meeting.)

Beading mat in a color contrasting to the beads.

Magnifying glasses if needed.

Lamp if needed.
