          Sunny Day Skull Earrings Tutorial

          Created by: Rita Hutchinson

          Designer Tips
          • Create skull dangles and outer-circle matubo bead dangles with headpins, corrugated beads, and seed beads.
            For step-by-step direction on making head pin loops, see Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF)
          • Wrap wire around a 1-3/4" round form about 3 times. From this, cut 2 matching pieces of wire (each ring should overlap at the ends by about 1/2", in other words, be a bit more than 2" long).
          • Artistic Wire is soft. Hammer the ring of wire with the rawhide mallet on your steel block. This shouldn't change the shape of the wire, but will work-harden it and help to retain the circle shape.
          • Create a loop on one end of the wire ring, and then string on seed beads and matubo dangles as desired.

          Tips, Continued

          • Finish the ring with a second loop once completed, and adjust these two loops into alignment. (If the wire is too long, you may trim it slightly). 
          • Add jump ring to skull dangle. (See Jewelry Basics 101 for best way to open and close jump rings.)
          • Open earwire loop, and add the embellished wire ring and the skull's jump ring to the ear wire loop. Securely close loop.
          • Repeat for other earring.
