Patterned Wire Earrings Tutorial
Created by: Polly Nobbs-LaRue
Designer Tips - Measure, mark and cut patterned wire to desired length.
- File ends smooth with slightly rounded corners.
- Use nylon hammer and metal block to flatten pieces if needed.
- Mark locations for rivet and eyelets on wire, and punch holes. Rivet size is 1/16" and eyelet size is 3/32".
- Use these hole locations, to mark hole locations on the disks. Punch holes.
- Optional: Antique if desired before assembling!
- Match up holes sizes on disk and wire pieces, and set rivets and eyelets.
- French hook ear wires with large loops allow the pieces to dangle freely. (This ear wire is out of production - we're looking for replacements.)
