I offer you a master class on making earrings that resemble a bunch of berries. They are done very quickly and simply. Even if you have never done jewelry making before, be sure - you will get these earrings, because all defects and flaws will be hidden under the beads.
So let's get started.
We will need:
- side cutters (or simply nippers)
- pliers
- pliers
- 2pcs shvenzy
- pins
- beads
- chain
I have beads with a diameter of 5 mm. You can take larger or smaller. Important: the larger the beads, the larger the earrings. I have pins with a round hat. For these earrings, you can also use pins with a flat hat (carnations), but it seemed to me that with them the product would look rude.
Pins and earrings can be purchased at any store that sells jewelry accessories.
So, put the bead on the pin and bend it with your fingers.
With the help of side cutters, we cut off the pin, leaving somewhere about 1 cm.
Using a pair of pliers, make a loop. To do this, wrap the pin with pliers and wrap it in the direction opposite to the one where the pin was bent. For example, if you bent the pin to the right, then turn the pliers to the left so that we get a beautiful eyelet.
This procedure is repeated as many times as we need beads. My earrings will not be long and not very voluminous, so 20 beads will be enough for me. Important: do not close the loop with round-nose pliers to the end, leave it slightly ajar. Here's what I got.
Now we need to connect the chain and the shvenza. I have a chain 4 cm long. The links in my chain are quite narrow, just a few millimeters in diameter. If you want long and voluminous earrings, then take a chain more authentic and with larger links. Using round-nose pliers, open the loop on the schwenz, catch the chain, tighten the loop on the schwenz.
Well, now the most interesting and enjoyable begins - we string our prepared beads onto a chain and tightly close the loops with pliers.
I string 2 beads in each link of the chain. If you plan to make more voluminous earrings, then string more. For this you will need a chain with larger links.
So a few links in the chain are ready.
We continue to work. No need to string beads in any particular order. In the process of wearing earrings, each bead will find a place on the chain and the beads will be distributed evenly.
We check that all the beads are held tightly on the chain so that there are no gaps. If you missed a bead somewhere, now is the time to fix it. And repeat the whole procedure for the second earring.
Voila! Our earrings are ready!
Now you have the opportunity to boast unique, and most importantly - handmade earrings. You can also make several pairs of earrings for different outfits. Experiment with chain length, volume and number of beads. Choose your favorite color and create! Good luck in your work and endless inspiration!
