Easy Peasy Wire Earring Tutorial

If you like easy, if you like simple, this tutorial is for you. I, personally, love copper wire. When it comes to earrings, I can almost wear a rusted nail in my ears. However, I do know people who, if they even whisper the word copper, will turn green. I don't know which category you fall into, but these earrings can be made in copper or silver or brass. I am using copper for this tutorial. It's easier to photograph and I enjoy wearing it! If you do not like copper or you turn green, feel free to use silver.

What you will need:

8 inches of 20 gauge copper or sterling silver wire cut in half

burr cup if you have one or a bit of fine sandpaper to sand the edges of the wire























Round nose pliers, long nose pliers and wire cutters























Begin by making a hook at the end of the wire. I like to work with both pieces of wire at the same time. It helps to keep the coiling even, or so I would hope!





















Continue coiling, but leave ample space between the coils.





















Continue coiling until you have a big coil. You are finished! You won't even need backs for these earrings. Enjoy!
