Wire-Wrapping Whimsy Star and Moon Statement Drop Earrings Tutorial

Step 4 of 10

Now, trim off the excess wire from the whimsy design piece to prevent surface scratching:

• Curl the wire end point into a hoop (fig. 4a, 4b, 4c).
• Anchor the start point onto the inner moon frame (fig. 4d, 4e).

After that, add a support wire finding onto the inner moon frame to attach the star pearl bead dangle (fig. 4f, 4g, 4h).

Next, take two pieces of 4mm pearl bead and flower bead cap each to form the star pearl bead combo (fig. 5a).

Slide one pearl bead onto a new 26 gauge copper wire and make a half wrap on each side of the pearl (fig. 5b, 5c, 5d).

Then, bend the remaining wires downward as shown (fig. 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h).

Step 6 of 10

Slide the flower bead cap on the bottom of the pearl bead (fig. 6a, 6b).

At the back side, wrap the center of the flower bead cap for one round on each loose wires (fig. 6c, 6d, 6e).

Then, twist the remaining wires for about one inch in length to form the bead dangle part (fig. 6f, 6g, 6h).

Curl the twisted wire end into an eye pin using the smallest diameter on a stepped bail-making pliers (fig. 6i, 6j, 6k).
