Step 9 of 11

Now let’s create a simple wire fish hook for your earring backing.

Take a 22-gauge silver copper wire and curl a fish hook with a stepped bail-making pliers (fig. 9a, 9b).

Then, take another new 22-gauge silver copper wire and coil the shank of your fish hook for extra details (fig. 9c,9d).

Lastly, use a chain nose pliers to bend the tip of the fish hook outwards as shown (fig. 9e, 9f).

Step 10 of 11

Finish your earring backing with a small spacer bead and a small wire bail.

Slide in the small spacer bead and stop it at the end of your hook shank (fig. 10a, 10b).

Then, use a round nose pliers to form a small bail with the remaining 22-gauge silver copper wire (fig. 10c, 10d, 10e).

Trim off the excess wire with a wire cutter (fig. 10f, 10g).
