Wire Earrings

Try making these cute wire earrings with flexible metallic wire, mainly used by florists. The wire is pliable and can be worked with your hands or pliers depending on its thickness and how precise you want the spiral to be. The one disadvantage is that this type of jewelry is quite fragile as it can be bent out of shape so easily, but when it looks this good, it's a risk we're willing to take!

Why not try experimenting with the size of the spirals?

Supplies
Tools
  • Pliers (if you use thick wire and you want to be precise).
  • Secateurs or strong scissors.
Materials
    • Florists wire (there is a wide variety of colors and thicknesses).
    • 2 earring supports.
Directions

Making your wire earrings

  • Cut off around 30 to 40 cms (12 to 16 inches) of wire.

  • Form a more or less regular spiral with the wire.

  • Slide the end of the wire through the earring support and wrap securely around the spiral.
