Using bracelet-sized memory wire and a few fun, colorful beads, you can create these bohemian hoop earrings quickly and easily!

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬


» Materials List «

• 2-1/4 inch bracelet memory wire, two loops (#H20-2082BS)*
• A pair of earwires (#H20-1421FN)
• Two 5mm jumprings (#H20-1821FN)
• 196 size 11 seed beads (#H20-4729SB)
• Four 6mm round beads**
• Two 8mm round beads
• Long-nose pliers
• Round-nose pliers
• Heavy-duty wire cutters

* I included the item numbers for Fire Mountain ( http://www.firemountain.com ), where I purchase most of my supplies, at the end of each item for your reference.

** For the 6mm and 8mm round beads, I purchased a bead mix from Fire Mountain which means they will have different colors in each mix. I was lucky to get a perfect
match with the seed beads. However, you can have fun with the colors and make contrasts - pink and yellow is a great combo! If you're interested in the beads
I used anyway, there item numbers are #H20-7929KS and #H20-4308GL, respectively.

» Instructions «


• If you haven't already, cut two loops from your memory wire.
• Make a loop on one end of each of your hoops.
• Slide your beads on each of your hoops in this order: 48 seed beads, a 6mm round bead, a seed bead, an 8mm round bead, a seed bead, a 6mm round bead, and 48 seed beads.
• Close your hoops by making a loop at the end of each.
• Open a jumpring and attach two loops of your hoop as well as the earwire; close jumpring. Repeat for other earring.

Amazing!!! Can you suggest other different types of beads which I can use to make hoop earrings.

[eclecticdesigns]

@ruplu83 Any beads that fit on a the memory wire will work. I have used crystal beads in another hoop earring design I did (I have a video on it) which I thought turned out great. Pearl beads will work, too, if the holes are large enough to fit on the memory wire. For hoop earrings, you would want them to be lightweight so I would stick with maybe small, delicate glass beads or even use plastic beads. Good luck!

@epicturnip It originally had music, but my publisher decided to take it out. I'm sorry that you have to deal with my voice. :/

@rebecca6798 You can purchase pliers just about anywhere. I bought a cheap set from Joann, but you can purchase them separately if you want. Try eBay, FusionBeads, Artbeads, or Fire Mountain Gems. If you want to look for them in an actual store, then try Michael's, Hobby Lobby, or even Walmart.

i don't have any of the players needed to make these earrings and i don't know were i can get them cheap
