Instructions
Step 1
Make the first bead link by cutting a 3" piece of 22-gauge wire and creating a wrapped loop (click on the link to see how) with one of the beads. Start making a wrapped loop at the other end of the wire but don't complete the wrap.

Step 2
For this type of project where you'll be making 12 wrapped loop beaded links and connecting them (6 per earrings), use the "assembly line" method by making them all at the same time. This assures consistency.

Complete a wrap on one link, slip the loop into a new loop, then finish the wrap connecting the 2 links. Trim wire ends closely so they don't poke your ears.
