Fern Dangle Earrings Tutorial
Created by: Rita Hutchinson
Designer Tips - Follow the manufacturer's instructions to emboss the brass blanks.
- Use the reliefing block to highlight the high points.
- Punch 2 holes in each blank with a metal hole punch.
- Create 4 messy wire-wrapped briolettes and attach to the embossed blank with jump rings.
- Not all gemstone teardrop briolette beads will fit on 20-gauge wire. Find ones that will, or use 22-gauge wire instead.
- Wire wrap the round beads with bead caps directly to the top hole.
- The bead caps are flexible and will stretch easily for a correct fit on the 8mm round beads.
