Instructions
Step 1
Cut the 20g wire into six 2.5" pieces. Take one of the 20 gauge wires and wrap the 26 gauge weaving wire around it 3 times. Begin the weave about half way down the wire.

Step 2
Place another base wire next to the first and wrap the weaving wire around both wires twice. Be careful to leave a weaving wire size gap between the two base wires.

Step 3
Continue this pattern of wrapping three times around the first base wire and then twice around both base wires. Do a total of 6 patterns. End with wrapping the weaving wire around the first base wire 3 times. Cut the weaving wire and smooth down with pliers. Set the rest of the weaving wire aside.

Step 4
Cut off the beginning tail of the weaving wire and smooth with chain-nose pliers. Bend the wire with the 3 wraps up and slip an 8mm bead onto it. Bend the weave around the bead.

Step 7
Make a simple loop with round-nose pliers on the wire coming up thru the bead. This is the loop the ear wire will attach to. Cut off the extra wire and close the loop.

Step 12
Cut off the excess wire. Use pliers to make sure the end of the wire is against the wire wrapping around the bead. This is the bead that dangles under the earring.
