Chakra Earrings

Skill Level: Beginner/All

Technique: Round wire

Unless I am totally snowed in, I never miss my Yoga classes. They give me time to meditate and communicate with my body. Another way to connect with your body is through its Chakra, which uses the same colors as the spectrum or a rainbow.

The colors used in my symbolic earring design are:

Materials

• 20-, 21-gauge round half hard jewelry wire, one 9" piece (4½" per earring)
• 12 4mmdaisy spacers
• 4mm round beads, 2 of each color: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and violet (or white)
• 2 Ear wires

Tools

• 3-step looping pliers (or 3-step round nose pliers)
• Wire cutters
• Ruler
• Ring Mandrel or Ring Stick

Instructions

1. Straighten, measure and then cut the two 4½" wires. Working with both wires as though they were one wire, place their center on size 13 on a ring mandrel or ring stick, and bend both ends evenly around the mandrel, forming a U shape.
   

2. Still working with both wires as though they were one, place the ends into the smallest step of 3-step looping pliers, and roll them toward the outside of the U, forming a complete small circle loop.
   
   

3. Lay both wires next to one another, with their small circle loops facing each other. Slide the 4mm beads, separating each with a 4mm daisy spacer, on each of the wires in this order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, then violet or white.
   
   

4. Place each straight wire end into the smallest step on the looping pliers and make another small circle loop, heading toward the outside of the U.
   
   

5. Bend the small circle loops toward each other. Hook one small circle loop into the other, closing the earring. Add your favorite ear wires.
