\"HandmadeVid #145:<\/span> “It’s really nice not to have to depend on what the stores sell.” ~Rose-M<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you ever been in a situation where you’re working on a lovely pair of polymer clay earrings, only to find that you don’t have the right ear wires to finish them? Maybe your supplies ran out. Maybe the wires you have on hand are in the wrong metal. Or maybe you just feel that the designs of the store bought ones are just going to be too darn boring for your cool looking beads.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well now you can make them yourself, quickly and easily, using the wire of your choice. And you can create custom designs that will really give your jewelry a unique one-of-kind look, exclusive to you!<\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday Feb 26th in the Polymer Clay Video Library (Vol-021-4), you will learn everything necessary to get started creating beautiful custom ear wires \/ ear hooks in several different styles.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love the look of “special” earwires. Handmade ones show that you really care about the design of your jewelry; they also make earrings much more interesting! This can also be a money-saver (depending on what you normally use.) This will be a great video!

Would love to learn how to make the wires for earrings. Another way to make the earrings all mine. I have always before bought earring wires, so yes please put this on your list of to do items. I will have to find a good place to purchase some copper colored anodized Niobium wire. Thanks again Cindy for another great idea. <\/span>~Peggy-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I began making earrings last summer and right away got into simple wire projects, so I’m torn about using video time to make earwires. Selfishly I feel, been there, done that – they’re easy to learn on your own. But the unselfish part of me thinks you should if others want to see it because it is so easy and everyone should be able to make them if they wish. It’s really nice not to have to depend on what the stores sell. <\/span>~Rose-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m with Rose. Ear wires are easy to do, but you may have a special twist that I don’t use. I love the look of your copper findings. <\/span> ~Freda-K<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes! I would love to learn to make my own earwires. <\/span> ~Sherry-L<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Please do show us all how you make ear wires, and please include some variations for the more advanced. <\/span>~Martha-R<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Three comments.. YES.. YES.. YES. Thanks for bumping it up too. That is the earwire shape that I absolutely love. You rock. <\/span>~Sam-M<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yipee!! I can’t wait to learn the earwire techniques!! And the rest too, but mainly the earwires… *big grin* <\/span>~Lisa-W<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
