Wire Wrapped Post Earrings

I've always loved wearing post earrings, but I never thought I'd be able to make my own without a torch. These super-simple wire wrapped post earrings use gemstone beads and are quick and easy to make. Coiling a little wire "nest" for each bead gives the look of casual elegance that make them easy to wear, too. Don't use beads larger than 8mm rounds for these earrings, or else they'll be too heavy to wear and might tug a bit uncomfortably on someone's earlobes.
