I’ve been asked to get a tutorial up for these fun and colorful Boho-style earrings.
Simple and, hopefully, comprehensible !
So here goes…
With this advisory…be sure to count and recount the beads
on your wire to check your pattern BEFORE you finish
the final wrapping!
A very painful lesson learned…
I like to mix matte colored seed beads with some shiny
or iridescent ones for visual contrast/interest.
The variations are endless!
STEP ONE Gather materials…
STEP TWO
STEP THREE
STEP FOUR
STEP FIVE
Now grab your favorite summer maxi dress or jeans and a t-shirt
and go make yourself a pair…or two or three !

Hi, Vera! Once you get that brass wire tamed, these earrings are easy to make. Good luck in the drawing!
So cute and they look so different in the different colors, love the yellow pair.
Great, Cindy! That summery yellow pair is your is you are the lucky winner!
These are just super! I really like that last pair – they look so shimmery and summery! Thanks for the wonderful tutorial Lynda! I’ve made some pairs similar to these using silver wire but I’ll have to try the brass wire, it’s a bit more sturdy and stiff which would be perfect!
I’ve made these with silver wire too…it’s so easy peasy to work with. Your name’s in the game!
I love your choice of mixing matt and glossy finishes! A great tutorial,too. Please count me in: mary.millercrews@gmail.com
Glad you like these happy earrings, Mary! You’re in!
I definitely have to try making a pair of these earrings. Although your tutorial is great, I’m sure that mine won’t turn out as beautiful as yours. I love the pair that you posted on limabeads.com, those are my favorite:)
You’re in the drawing, Cat! Hope you have some summer fun with this tutorial!
I love your earrings! This design is so simple, but all I can say is, “why didn’t I think of that”! Thanks for the tutorial.
Glad you like this one, Carol! Wrapping the loop first made all the difference to me. I do the same thing when wire wrapping a briolette bead. You can find that tutorial
