2010-06-18 11:58:00
Every woman likes beautiful, making jewelry can be a very enjoyable hobby. It can also, easily turn into a profitable side- or full-time business. The easiest way to get started is to make a pair of earring, and it is inexpensive bits and pieces.
The first, you should prepare the material for the making earrings, the headpins that made of metal, these are like pins, but more flexible. They are flattened at one end to stop the beads falling off and come in various lengths. Ear hooks are the base of the earring and are also made of metal. Needle nose pliers preferably jewelry making ones, but small toolkit ones work too. And a good selection of beads is needed. Make sure you have at least two of each to be able to make pairs.
The second, you should use round nose pliers to make a loop on one end of each wire by clamping the end of the wire in the pliers and twisting to form a loop. The loop should be closed as much as possible. In the next step, the bead will slide up and cover the end of the wire.
The third, you can make a coil to slide next to the bead to hold it in place. Make the coil by wrapping a short piece of 26-gauge wire around a piece of the 28-gauge wire about four wraps; slide the coil off the wire and slide onto the earring wire up to the bead.
The last, you had better use a burr cup to smooth the end of the wire that will go into your ear. To use a burr cup, place the end of the wire into the cup and turn until smooth.
