How to Make Simple Earrings for the Fourth of July - Jewelry-making Tutorial

Red, white, and blue earrings - just in time for the Fourth of July! These earrings are very simple to make and only require a few supplies.

Materials list:
- Round-nose pliers
- Wire cutters
- 8mm round beads: two red, two white, two blue
- Two 1" headpins
- Four 1" eyepins
- Two fishhook earwires

Material sources:
Beads are from various places such as Hobby Lobby and Fire Mountain Gems. The headpins, eyepins, and earwires are from Fire Mountain Gems. The round-nose pliers are from Joann. The wire cutters are from my dad's toolbox.

Tips:
After attaching all the bead units to the earwire, double check to see if you closed all the loops correctly. More than once I had my chain of bead unit come apart!

@iampeeay01 Sorry about the audio! I used my camera's mic to film this video. I recently purchased a great mic and I can't wait to use it!

@iampeeay01 Absolutely not! Thanks for the feedback! Also, if you have any requests, I'd love to hear them. I am brainstorming for new ideas for 2012!

Where do you buy your beads? I can't find them anywhere. 

[eclecticdesigns]

@7ChibiTetsu7 I purchase the majority of my beads on firemountain (dot) com. The beads I used are called cracked glass beads.
