Wrap your loose 22-gauge wire along the right side of your bead (fig. 7a, 7b).
Then, make a tight coil on the top of your bead (fig. 7c, 7d, 7e, 7f).
Lastly, trim off the excess wire with a wire cutter (fig. 7g, 7h, 7i).
Adjust the grip of the trimmed wire end with a chain nose pliers (fig. 7j).
Step 8 of 8
Last but not least, attach your earring piece onto a ear hook wire (fig. 8a, 8b).
Make a small opening on your ear hook wire with a chain nose pliers (fig. 8c, 8d).
Then, slip in your earring loop onto the ear hook wire (fig. 8e).
Use a chain nose pliers to seal the ear hook wire (fig. 8f, 8g).
Finally, polish the surface of your earring with a finest steel wire wool (fig. 8h).
Repeat the whole process for your other earring from Step 1 to Step 8.
Well done! You have completed your tutorial.
