How to make beaded earrings - A jewellery making tutorial

Designed by: Monika Wojdyla

Difficulty: Beginner

Rating:

We present to you a jewellery making tutorial in which Monika Wojdyła shows you how to make beaded earrings using TOHO beads. This is not just any earrings, but very feminine and glamorous ones and not so difficult to make either. If you like eye-catching jewellery – this is a perfect tutorial for you. Let’s do this!

What I like the most of the summer months is that we don’t need to wear scarves, infinity scarves and warm jackets so we can show off long earrings. But since we are beading freaks we obviously wear them even in winter, but we can’t show off their beauty in the perfect way. Now it’s time to have fun with the patterns, length and colours and in return they will attract your friends’ attention. Sit back, make coffee and make these extraordinary earrings with me. They are beautiful and they can be made in as many colourways, as many flowers you can find in a meadow.

Supplies used in this project:

Earrings base – with 7 loops
Earring wires – stainless steel ones
6/0 TOHO seed beads – Silver Lined Teal
Open jump rings – 5 mm (you may use 6mm jump rings – it will be easier to close them and they won’t be too dense)
Jewellery tools – 2 x flat nose pliers and a bead mat

Is everything prepared? So let’s start!

Step 1

Open a jump ring with the pliers. Important, don’t pull it – use a “twisting” motion to open the jump ring.

Step 1

Step 2

Thread on two beads into the jump ring.

Step 1

Step 3

Attach the jump ring with the beads to the 1^st loop of the base and close the jump ring.

Step 1

Step 4

Thread on two beads onto the next jump ring.

Step 1

Step 5

Attach the 2^nd jump ring to the 1^st one already attached to the base. Attach the ring between the beads of the 1^st ring (marked with “X”). The new jump ring should be placed in the middle.

Step 1

Step 2

Step 6

Thread on 1 bead onto a jump ring. We will thread on only 1 bead onto the last jump ring of each “row”.

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 7

In each following row you will add two jump rings with beads more until you have reached the middle loop. We will reduce the number of jump rings starting from the middle loop.

If there are 7 loops add:

1^st row – 3 jump rings

2^nd – 5 jump rings

3^rd – 7 jump rings

4^th – 9 jump rings

5^th – 7 jump rings

6^th – 5 jump rings

7^th – 3 jump rings

Remember to thread on only 1 bead onto the last jump ring of each “row”.
