How to Make Simple Drop Earrings

Materials and Tools

Drop earrings are the easiest earrings to make. You can make them classy with semiprecious stones and silver wire or with crystal beads, cloisonne beads, and a few gold filled findings.

All you need for a set of basic earrings:

• 2 headpins or eyepins
• 2 earwires
• beads of your choice
• round-nose pliers

Spacer beads are also useful. These are very small metal-colored beads that serve to frame the other beads. If you don't have headpins, you can just bend the end of regular wire in a loop to make your own eyepins.

How To Make Earrings

	1. Find a Head Pin Head pins have flat heads on the bottom, and are available in different sizes and thicknesses.		2. Add Beads Put some beads on the head pin. Experiment with different colors and styles. In this picture, spacer beads are used to break up the colored beads.
	3. Begin Loop Use a pair of round-nose pliers to bend the head-pin 90º.		4. Finish Loop Bend the end of the head pin over to complete the loop. Add a french-wire or other earring finding and you're finished.
