MATERIALS REQUIRED

• 2 eye pins
• 4 x 7mm fuchsia pink bicone glass beads
• 4 wide daisy spacer beads
• 2 x 11mm opaque cream diamond-shaped glass beads
• 10cm of 20 gauge fuchsia beading wire (5cm per earring)
• 2 ear wires

TOOLS REQUIRED

• Twirly Wirlie pliers (round-nose pliers)
• Wire cutters
• Crimping pliers
• Electrical tape (optional – see tip below)

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Create the Main Beaded Component

1. Take one eye pin.
2. Slide on the following beads in this order:
   • 1 x 7mm bicone bead
   • 1 x wide daisy spacer
   • 1 x 11mm diamond bead
   • 1 x wide daisy spacer
   • 1 x 7mm bicone bead
3. Using your wire cutters, trim the remaining wire on the eye pin, leaving about 10mm of space above the last bead.
4. Use your twirly wirlie pliers to make a neat loop at the trimmed end. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Fuchsia Wire Spiral

1. Cut a 5cm length of your 20g beading wire.
2. With your twirly wirlie pliers, curl one end tightly to make the smallest loop possible.
3. Grip the loop with crimping pliers and begin wrapping the wire around the loop to form a spiral.
4. Stop when there’s about 10mm of wire left uncurled.
5. At the end of the spiral, use your twirly wirlies again to create a small loop for attaching.

✅ Tip: Crimping pliers can sometimes scratch coloured wire. To avoid marks, wrap the jaws of your pliers in electrical tape before use.

Step 3: Assemble the Earrings

1. Open one loop of your beaded eye pin and attach the spiral component.
2. On the opposite loop of the eye pin, attach an ear wire.
3. Repeat all steps to make the second earring.
