Materials
* 24 cms Tigertail wire
* Lite crimps
* 2 French Hooks
* Beads . recommended
size 2mm.8mm
Tools
Flat Nose Pliers
Diagonal Wire Cutters
Instructions
1. Cut 2 x 12cm lengths of tigertail wire using your diagonal wire cutters.
2. Thread each individual length of tigertail wire through each French hook & bend to form 2 strands with one strand 1cm longer than the other. Secure with a crimp using your flat nose pliers.
3. Add beads along the length of each strand securing with crimps on either side of the bead/s using your flat nose pliers. The aim is to achieve a balanced look to the earrings and I recommend that you place larger sized beads at the bottom of your earring strands as the extra weight at the bottom will make them hang better. You are finished!
