Wire Flower Earrings

I found a tutorial video on YouTube (see 'Easy Wire Wrapped Jewelry Tutorial : Flower Earrings') for making wire flower earrings and thought I'd give it a try. It's a lot more fiddly than I first anticipated but I thought I didn't do too bad for my first try! I also made a co-ordinating box from some 10" square colour cardstock.

I decorated the box with some floral paper that I added glitter glue to, to highlight some of the detail. To finish I added some lace ribbon, a message tag and some silver liquid pearls.

Blue and Purple Spiral Earrings

Here are some simple spiral earrings that I made from coloured wire. You make the spirals by twisting both ends of a length of wire (in this case 4" long) in opposite directions and then wrapping them into spirals using flat nosed pliers. To make the top spiral, you only make one end into a spiral and simply curl the other side into a loop (just over 2" of wire needed in this case). I then attached these together using silver jump rings and attached them to silver hook earrings. I made a blue pair in a co-ordinating gift box...
