These simple 2 Strand Earrings are an easy project for beginners to intermediate level beading enthusiasts. Follow the easy steps including guides for the materials & tools you will need to complete your earrings.

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!
