Floral Intuition Earrings Tutorial

Created by: Rita Hutchinson

Designer Tips

Create wire wrapped link with Cacoxenite and Filigree Beads to attach Blossom charm to the shank of the button. New to jewelry-making? See Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF). For the earrings to hang properly, the loop for the charm should be perpendicular to the loop for the shank.
Determine "top" and "bottom" of the button and use round jump ring to attach earwire to the top of the button shank.
Repeat for other earring.
The filigree beads add interest and texture to these earrings without adding to the weight of the earring.
