Today I want to show you the way of making cute earrings with flowers from pearls and beads.
For this you need:
- natural pearls 6mm = 10pcs
- glass rhinestones 5 mm = 2pcs
- silver beads 10 = 40 pcs
- white ivory beads 10 = 30.
- silver plated wire 1-1.5 mm = 15cm
- silvery wire 0.3 mm = 120cm
Tools:
- round-nose pliers
- cutters
- nail file
Here's a set for one earring:
Make a loop in 2 turns, cut off with a 5 cm tail.
String 5 pearls, twist the wire into a ring, wrap the beads.
Wrap 4 times.
Fix the thick wire end to the wrong side of the flower.
Make 2 stitches between each bead to securely attach the flower to the base. Attach the rhinestone.
Add 14 beads around the rhinestone. I picked them all, passed the wire through the first 7 beads.
Bring the ends of the wire to the opposite side.
Pick 3 white beads onto both ends of the wire, then 1 silver and 3 white on the longer end.
Bend the wire at 2 cm from the base, push the beads closer and twist the wire.
Thus you get leaves. Make the rest of the leaves:
Finish the last piece and lift the wire by spiral up to the longest twig.
The tail of the wire is passed through beads and cut off.
The thick wire is bended in a loop, cut off the excess, grind the sharp corners.
Admire the result :)
That's all, dear readers!
Wish you much inspiration
Yours,
