Double Hole Paper Bead Earrings

These earrings are made with Double Hole Paper Beads that were made with the 3/32" Double Hole Paper Bead Roller.

Materials & Tools Needed

2 Double Hole Paper Beads
14 Pink size 6/0 seed beads
8 Clear size 6/0 seed beads
2 4" pieces of 20 Guage Silver colored wire
Pair of Earring Findings
2 jump rings 6mm diameter to match wire
2 jump rings 4mm diameter to match wire
Pair of Needle Nose and flat nose pliers
Wire Cutters

Finished Size: 2" long by 5/8" wide
Skill Level: Intermediate

Instructions
Step 1: Cut your wire to two 4" pieces. Bend each one in half into a Long U Shape about 3/8" wide at the widest part.

Step 2: Work with one Earring at a time. Put 5 of the size 6/0 beads on first in alternating color so the colorful one is in the center.

Step 3: Place the double hole bead on the bent wire making sure that each end goes through each hole. Spread the wires apart a little bit to hold the bead in place for the next step.

Step 4: Working one side at a time, place 3 size 6/0 beads on each wire in alternating color. With your needle nose pliers, make a simple loop at the very end of the wire bending the wire about 1/4" from the end. Repeat with the other wire. Squeeze the two loops together so they are side by side.

Step 5: Attach large jump ring through both simple loops at the same time, close the jump ring.

Step 6: Add the smaller jump ring to the large jump ring.

Step 7: Add the earring finding to the smaller jump ring. Done!

Random Quick Tip!

What Size Hook?
If you are the type to have many projects going at the same time and some of those projects require the same size hook, well what do you do to mark your spot and remember what hook size is needed? Well, Julie Morash gave me the idea of making a marker which would have the size hook on it and then you would stick it in your work. Well I went with this concept and came up with using a plastic tab from a loaf of bread and mark the size hook on it with a magic marker and put it at the last stitch. That way, when you go back to work on the project, you will know what size hook to use for it. Thanks Julie for the inspiration and the idea plant.
