Ear cuff

  Ear cuffs match to all types of outfit, they are really easy to make and this is why you could easily adapt them to your own style. Their small shape and ornaments give the look completion an attract the attention.

To make your own ear cuff you need:

> Round pliers.

1. How long piece of wire you’ll need depends on what type of ear cuff you are preparing to make. In this case I’ve used 6 – 7 cm – long piece.

2. Curve the one end of the piece of wire with the top of the pliers and make a small ringlet.

3. About a centimeter after the small ring, again with the thinnest part of the pliers make another curve. Try not to sweep the rest of the wire.

4. Repeat the last action, but this time leave two centimeters after the last curve.

5. For the next step it will be easier for you to grab the wire from the side of the ringlet. With pliers press the long sections of the ear cuff one to another. (You can see before and after flatting)

6. Then gently take the second end of the wire and curve it like a spiral.

7. With the pliers grip the ear cuff from the middle side so that the both elongated sections are left outside of the grip and curve them.
