Cumulus Threader Earrings Tutorial
Created by: Mollie Valente
Designer Tips
- Twist a jump ring to open it extra wide.
- Loop the jump ring around a single pearl in the pearl ball bead.
- Attach the loop of an ear thread to the jump ring.
- Twist the jump ring closed.
- Repeat to make the second earring.
- The long 5" ear threads also allow you to wear the earrings in an asymmetrical fashion, with the pearl balls suspended at different lengths.
- If you have double pierced ears, the long-chain tail can be swagged back through a second piercing.
- You can also make this project with shorter 3" ear threads, wavy-bar ear threads or gold vermeil ear threads!
