Hi I'm Mackie Mullane, a designer with Vintaj
and I'm here today with Beadaholique.com and we're going to be doing the Bangalore
Earrings
You're going to need a metal file, chain nose pliers
and then your ear wire, a few different size jump rings
two cut chains, the centerpiece
and then your connector that we'll be making into another centerpiece
you also need your flush cutter
so first I'm going to cut off
the extra loop on this and I like to go from the side
and cut
so now
you have a little jagged edge so I'm going to use the metal file
file that down and even it out
and then I'm going to take the most important tool that we use
the Reliefing Block and finish up
sanding that. I'm also going to use the
light side of it and relief the top edges
it brings that nice shine
and finish to it
so now I'm going to attach the two
chains to the bottom of the centerpiece. So here we've cut out two different
size chain lengths, one is three and 3/4 of an inch
and one is three inches. So take your smaller jump ring
open it up
and first attach the longer
chain and then the shorter
and then for this earring
I'm going to go on the second hole down
slip that through and close that up
alright
now set down on your bead mat and we're going to attach the other side
open your jump ring one towards you
and one away, start with the bottom
attach the shorter
and then go in the
second hole again and close that up
now I have the bottom part of that finished
okay so now we're going to attach
this flower piece. I'm going to take this jump ring
and I'm going to attach it to
the top
okay so now with these medium-size jump rings
I'm going to actually just attach them
right on either side of
that top piece
okay and then take the larger jump ring
open that up and you're going to string it through those jump rings that we just
attached
onto either side of the top. String that through
attach the earring wire
and that's finished.
