This tutorial was produced in partnership with Idées à Faire Magazine. It was published in the issue 33 of May/June 2021.
The principle of making these buckles is very simple. With wire, you can hang the beads of your choice on a support, here the hollow circle. We have a large choice of pearl and freshwater pearls. The little golden leaves in the pictures have been a victim of their success and are no longer available on our site. We have put other similar leaf charms in the material list.
We have suggested a way to place the elements on our tutorial, but you can place them as you like. You can put more beads, less beads, the technique will be the same. Have fun creating your own earrings!
Cut 25 cm of copper wire. Wrap the end of the wire very tightly around the ring. Make at least 3 turns. Thread a large mother of pearl flower and a small gold bead.
Pass the thread back through the hole in the flower. Pull the thread and place the flower against the circle a little at a time. The gold bead will sit against the flower. Wrap the wire around the circle twice and then thread a gold leaf and place it between the circle and the flower. Pass the thread under the flower and wrap the thread around the circle twice in the opposite direction to before.
Thread a small flower and a gold bead and attach it against the first and the leaf. Wrap the thread 3 times around the circle.
Thread a freshwater pearl and place it a few millimeters from the circle. Bend the thread at the hole of the bead and twist the two threads together by turning the bead with the thread. Go around the circle once to move to the next bead.
Attach a total of 3 beads to the two flowers, then wrap the wire around the circle 3 times and hide it behind the flowers. Wrap a new thread around the bottom right of the circle to attach a new small flower and 7 freshwater pearls.
Gently open the ring of the ear stud by rotating it with pliers. Slide the earring in and close the ring.
