Easy beading instructions for beautiful crystal and pearl hoop earrings, double hoop earrings, small hoop earrings, big hoop earrings that look great!
Hoop Earrings are basically a circle of wire with a tiny loop one end and a small hook the other end that when connected forms the circle. They are worn through a piercing in the lower earlobe and they are one of the most simple and oldest styles of earrings displaying early jewelry making. Is earring making hard? No… the steps used are simple.
With a few beading instructions and your jewelry making materials you can easily make your own handmade beaded earrings.
Seed Bead Hoop Earrings: Created with hoop earring wires, head pins, seed beads, bicones and bugle beads. Seed bead is the name given to small round glass donut beads used in seed bead jewelry and are the most common type of bead used. You can use any size of seed bead for the projects although best results will be achieved using the correct size and type of bead specified in your beading instruction. Bicones are larger in the center and tapered at the ends often faceted and made from crystal, glass, plastic, resin, wood and other materials. Bugle beads are made in a similar way to seed beads. The glass canes are cut to a variety of lengths from 2-30mm. The most common sizes are 4mm, 6mm, 9mm & 15mm
Beautiful Crystal and Pearl Hoop Earrings: Let the magic of crystal inspire you to create beautiful handmade Swarovski crystal bead jewelry. If you are new to beading than start you love affair with crystals by creating a simple pair of crystal pink pearl earrings. Swarovski crystals are considered exceptional throughout the world in terms of quality and precision. Over the years pearls have always been a favorite and now with the freshwater, cultured and fake one’s that have become available the cost is quite reasonable. They come in the traditional cream tones through to the very bold metallic colors. Make hot pink hoop earrings that are glamorous and will only take a few minutes to make, adding the beads couldn’t be simpler.
Double Hoop Earrings: There are a few names for flexible beading wire and tigertail (or Tiger Tail) is used as a generic one. It is made up of multiple strands of micro-strands of wire, the more strands used the greater the flexibility of the wire and the softer the drape. Hoop earrings are easy to make using beading wire. Choose lightweight beads so the wire will keep a nice shape. Rondelle beads are a good choice for this design of earrings due to their unusual shape. The word “roundelle” refers to the shape of the bead which is not a perfect ball, but rather a flattened ball or saucer shape either flat or plump.
Fashion Hoop Earrings: Glass beads come in all shapes, sizes and colors so for this design the beads have a wrapped loop at the top of each headpin. With a combination of a flower bead at the top then in the loop a leaf, round, oval, and square beads with a touch of silver beads these are quite charming. Wire wraps add character to your bead jewelry projects, they are relatively simple to make and with practice you will gain confidence and add this new technique to your CAN DO. You can have lots of fun making hoop earrings experimenting with different bead shapes and sizes, colors and combinations.

How do you make a sidewinder bracelet ?
I am looking for the pattern/instructions to make a sidewinder bracelet. It uses 4 mm and 6 mm bicone beads as well as seed beads.
I’m sorry, I haven’t found the pattern yet. It used to be on howlingrabbit.com but that site is closed down. I did find another site where “Jeanne” has recently made it. The site is:
http://jeannejewelry.blogspot.com/2008/06/above-is-sidewinder-bracelet-that-my.html
I posted a comment there as I am also hoping to locate the directions for this. If I find them, I will let you know. I’d appreciate it if you would also let me know if you locate them. Thank you.
