Handmade jewelry ideas-wire wrapped Chandelier earrings

I always love handmade jewelry ideas, especially the

wire wrapped ones. The wire wrap technique is

common and almost been regarded as one necessary

technique that a real craft fancier should master. Here,

let just get start and try making one for yourself.

Things you may need:

Opal Bead

Alloy Metal Bead

Jumpring

Earring hook

0.5mm Brass Wire

1.5mm Aluminum Wire

Side Cutting Plier

Round Nose Plier

Flat Nose Plier

How are the handmade jewelry ideas like?

Step1: wrap the connected loops

decoration

1. Cut 15cm long aluminum wire, grab one end tip

with bottom of round nose plier, loop one time;

2. At the adjacent location, loop the second one in

same direction;

3. Then form the third, fourth and fifth ones.

The piece of handmade jewelry ideas today is inspired by the famous chandelier earrings, except for the

difference that but this pair is totally handmade and the finished items are really fantastic!

Step2: wrap the chandelier component

1. Prepare another segment of aluminum wire, about

20cm;

2. Curve the 1/3 point around a tape measure. Then

you’ll obtain a drop shape chandelier component.

Finally, rotate the short tip around the long one to

close the chandelier. Then, loop the top and remove

the excess part.

Step3: Wrap the decorative

element onto chandelier.

Take a fairy long 0.5mm brass wire, start to

wrap from the center location;

Step4: Wrap on the focal opal bead.

Lay your bead in the chandelier and mark the

locations where two holes will be. Keep wrapping

the chandelier, when the wire reached to the two

positions, cross two end through the bead.

After that, keep wrapping until covering the

entire chandelier.

Make a complete pair. They are so amazing, right?

Watch different gauges of wire incorporate in one item that really makes lots of fun and

amusement. However, for the handmade jewelry ideas, please do be careful as to your hands may

be easily scratched by wire while working with them. Except this, the wire wrapping accessories

are approximately perfect!

Step5: embellish the bottom with

metal alloy beads

Take a new strand of brass wire and start to wrap

from the location where you place the connected

loops components. Supply metal alloy beads while

wrapping the part.

Each time thread the wire; hook the previous coil

so that your beads may be in place.

Step6: add on the earring

hooks

When finished all works about the

chandelier, the rest process is attach the

earring hook by a jumpring.
