How to make Simple Furnace Glass Earrings - DIY Craft Project from Craftbits.com
Project rating Project rating Project rating Project rating Project rating
  • 2 x Furnace Glass Beads
    4 x 4mm Miracle Beads
    1 foot 18g Sterling Wire (Cut in half)
    1 x Pair Sterling Ear Wires

Bright colors and a simple design make this a perfect Summer project.

Tools Required
Wirecutter
Round-nose Pliers
Chain-nose Pliers

Hammer and Steel Block

Step 1 - Use the round nose plier to make a loop at the end of the wire and continue into a spiral. I do both wires before moving on to the next step, as it is easier to match them at this stage.

Step 2 - Bend the wire up and back, then add a 4mm miracle bead, furnace glass bead and another miracle bead.

Step 3 - Bend wire back again and spiral the tail.

Step 4 - Use the hammer and steel block to hammer the spirals.

Step 5 - Add earwires, wear and enjoy!.

why do you need to hammer the spiral?
