Instructions
Step 1
Optional: I use a third hand when wire wrapping. It makes the job much easier!
Cut a 20" piece of wire and one end wrap around the base of the earring 5-8 times. Trim the tail and squeeze the wires together tightly using the nylon jaw pliers.

Step 2
Position the wire so the end is coming out from under the earring base. String 7 seed beads onto the wire.

Step 3
Going over the top of the earring base, form a beaded scallop, or petal, and wrap the wire twice around the earring again.

Step 4
Repeat steps #2 and #3 until you reach the end of the earring base. Gently shape the beaded scallops if needed. Squeeze each wire wrap using the nylon jaw pliers to keep them firmly in place as you go along. Trim excess wire. Repeat all steps for the second earring.
