Let’s begin with the DIY earring hook tutorial – one of the basic jewelry findings! Check the list for supplies and instructions to make them by yourself.
How to make Earring Hooks
Supplies:
- Craft wire – 18 gauge
- Craft pliers – cutting, looping and flat nose
Instructions:
Step 1:
Hold the wire from an end without cutting it from the bundle and create a small loop at the end. Use flat-nose pliers to bend the wire to 90 degrees or less below the loop.
Step 2:
Use large flat nose pliers to create a half loop or half circle bend. After making the half-loop keep the wire 2.5 cm straight and then cut the wire from the bundle.
Press the open end of the wire inside towards the bottom part.
Step 3:
Again use flat nose pliers to slightly bend the bottom half part of the open end. You can also Insert a small bead at the bottom straight part of the hook but it’s better to insert the bead before bending the wire.
