Here's a lovely little earring tutorial. It's suitable for beginners, also good for intermediate wire workers. The earrings are designed to be a skill building project, and will give an introduction to wire weaving, as well as teaching how to make basic ear wires so that they match exactly.

The design is perfect for Valentine's Day, but will carry on throughout the year as hearts never go out of favor. The tools required are basic, and the wire needed is 20 and 28ga round dead soft wire, and 8mm beads. The tutorial will touch on proper use of tools and manipulation of wire and weaves, and is a good refresher for those who have been at wire work for some time.

My beginner tutorials are all written with the intent of teaching solid foundation skills, and avoiding the development of bad habits, something I consider to be extremely important. I have learned from some of the best and most skilled in the wire world, and now I'm passing on what I have learned so that others may do the same. The skills contained herein will be useful going forward to other projects, and you will see that with these basics under your belt, you can easily design your own jewelry as well!
