Bead Table Wednesday

This post is coming so late, it's almost Bead Table Thursday! Oops. Better late than never. Today on my bead table I share how to make your own earwires using sterling silver wire. 

I used 20 gauge half-hard sterling silver wire cut to 4" long for the earwires. 


Resources from the video:
Silver wire: Monster Slayer
Copper seed beads: Fusion Beads
Polymer charms: Humblebeads on Etsy (look for them on Friday)

Cup Bur Tool - a must for making your own earwires! I ordered a new one to replace my lost one, can't live without it. (Amazon affiliate link)
Bead Cruise - Our next event sails in 18 days, but 2018 details will be available in April. 

This gorgeous leather is from PeggySueAlso on Etsy. Run on over and shop away!

Thanks so much for this post and tutorial. I am definitely going to try this. I have a burr cup I've never used!
