Ever feel like you are in a design rut? I seem to make the variations of the same earrings over and over again. So this week for Bead Table Wednesday I decided to challenge myself to make stretch my earring vocabulary and work on a new design.

Resources from today’s video:
Gardanne Beads Trunk Show is Thursday and Friday in her FB Group. Join here.

Earring Trunk Show – Tuesday September 19th at 11am & 7pm EST in my Humblebeads VIP Group.
I used 14 gauge wire today from the hardware store – find it in the electrical department. If you aren’t using a jig with heavy gauge wire, you’ll need to work with longer pieces of wire to bend it easier.
The beaded wire links are so much fun! Here is the necklace that I made with the large oval link. I want to do a bracelet of these beaded links next.
Kits and leaves will be posted Friday on Humblebeads.com.

I was really cringing at you with that screw driver I was thinking you were going to cut your finger so glad you didn’t! Thanks for sharing this fun tutorial xx
