Boho Barbie Earrings Tutorial
Created by: Laurel Newnham
Designer Tips
- Cut wire into two 16" lengths, one for each earring. Trim excess as needed.
- Hold wire tightly to create loops that are closer together.
- Experiment with the position of the beads if using other shapes such as bicones, firepolish rounds or tiny cubes. Some shapes are easier to add on the outer rim of the ring, than others.
