You may be familiar with creoles to customize with beads. They are circles formed with a metal wire. The wire can come out of the clamp, which allows you to slip your beads in. You must then return the rod in the tube of the creole to close it. Then, to block the stem and close the creole permanently, you must flatten the tube of the earring with a flat clip. There are 3 different ways to close a creole without making marks with the jewelry pliers:
To illustrate this technique, we made a model of earrings with green Aventurine beads. These are pretty round faceted gemstone beads. To highlight them, we strung white heishi beads and golden flower rondelles. We could have used other types of gemstones or heishi colors. Feel free to customize creoles with lots of different colors of beads.
We offer many other creole tutos to customizeWe have many other creole tutorials to choose from, so feel free to check out our other jewelry tutorials. There are different models of creoles on which you can thread beads. Some have a ball to unscrew on the end to add beads on it. Then you have to screw the ball back on. In addition, it is also possible to wrap a string of pearls around a creole or to weave seed beads on a creole with thread and a needle.
Remove the metal pin from the tube on the back of the earring. To do this, pull it out slightly. The side of the pin that is attached has bend marks.
Add your beads to the earring hoop. Here is the sequence of beads used for this design: 1 spacer, 1 flower washer, 1 spinner, 1 flower washer, 1 spacer, 3 white heishi, 1 spacer, 1 4mm Aventurine bead, 1 spacer, 3 white heishi, 1 spacer, 1 4mm Aventurine bead, 1 spacer, 3 white heishi, 1 spacer, 1 flower washer, 1 spinner, 1 large flower washer, 3 Aventurine washers and then do the same thing on the other side of the hoop.
Put the stem back into the earring tube. Take a small piece of fabric and place it on both sides of the earring at the tube. Flatten the tube over the fabric with a pair of flat pliers. Make sure the stem does not come out by pulling on it.
Open the earring with round or flat nose pliers. Slide the creole ring inside and close the loop. Use an open ring to attach the charm to the creole.
