These disco ball beads make great earrings! The fuchsia bicones compliment them well and the twisted french wires are a perfect finishing touch to this cute pair.
Kelly McCoy, Auntie’s Beads Designer
Instructions:
1. Place both of your 6mm fuchsia bicones on eyepins. Above the beads, use your wire looping pliers to make a loop and then trim the excess wire.
2. Cut off two links of chain. Repeat.
3. On a headpin, place a mirrored sterling silver round, and then your fuchsia disco bead. Above the beads, wire wrap to one of the two links of chain you cut in step 2 (use the video technique if you need help).
4. Use your chain nose pliers to open the loop below one of your fuchsia bicones and attach it to the chain link above the link you attached your disco bead to. Open the loop above your bicone and attach it to the other two links of chain your cut in step 2.
5. Open the loop below your second fuchsia bicone and close it around the top chain link. Then, open the loop above it and close it around your french wire using your chain nose pliers. Repeat all steps for a matching earring.
