This is the thing where you can express yourself and use your imagination. Initially you have to buy many different types of tiny elements - stones, ceramic, glass, wood or metal pearls, safety pins etc. and then they can be successfully combined. Here I will show you an example of how to make three different types of earrings.
Materials needed:
- 2 colourless porous sandstones shaped like stars,
- 2 red-painted wooden pieces and 2 blue, round stones;
- 6 golden hooks;
- 4 golden nails with an enclosed end and 2 nails with an eyelet at the end.
- 6 stone pearls - blue, red and white;
- 4 wooden pearls - blue and red;
- 2 golden metal pearls;
- 4 golden decorative elements;
- 2 dark blue glass pearls and 2 pearl white glass pearls;
- pliers;
- flat pliers.
Earrings "Blue Lagoon II".
On one and the other nail bead the elements in the following order: small light blue stone pearl, large light blue wooden pearl, porous sandstone, white glass pearl. When everything is beaded, using the flat pliers bend the end of the nail into an eyelet and attach the hook to it. In case the end of the nail is too long, pinch it with pliers to get a nice, small eyelet. At the end using the flat pliers press the end of the eyelet so that the hook of the earring could not slip out. The earrings are ready to wear!
Earrings "Blue Lagoon".
On the nail with an eyelet at the end bead the elements in the following order: the big blue stone and the white stone pearl. Bead a dark blue glass pearl on the eyelet of the nail. Fasten everything together using flat pliers as described above.
Earrings "Cabaret".
On one and the other nail bead the elements in the following order: decorative golden element, red wooden pearl, decorative element, red piece of wood, metallic golden pearl and small red stone pearl. The order of fastening the same as the previous one.
