EURO Tool Glitter, 5-Piece Set

The set has chain-nose pliers, flat-nose pliers, bent chain-nose pliers, spherical-nose pliers, and semi-flush side cutters–and they are all stored in a handy roll-up pouch.

Mermaid scales are domed, the “front” convex aspect becoming a powder-coated coloration and the “back” concave aspect becoming a reflective silvertone.

Twist open the eye pin loop, then thread on a mermaid scale allure. Ultimately, twist the eye pin loop closed. I used a one mermaid scale for every earring, exhibiting purple on the entrance and silver on the bottom. You can also layer two mermaid scales back-to-again on the eye pin so that purple is obvious from the two sides.

String the beads onto the eye pin in this pattern: metal fluted hogan (bicone) bead, Mirage bead, and metal fluted hogan bead.

Mirage beads have a large hole that is approximately 2-to-3mm in dimensions, which tends to in shape sloppily on a head pin. The metallic fluted hogan beads nestle down into the bead holes and act as bead aligners, centering the Mirage bead snuggly on the head pin.

Finish the eye pin conclusion with a wrapped loop. For the completed earring to hang in the appropriate way, the wrapped loop must be perpendicular to the decrease loop attached to the mermaid scale.

Use semi-flush side cutters to clip off the remaining eye-pin tail. For a cleanse straight slash, confront the flat side of the cutter’s jaw up coming to the wrapped coil. Then use chain-nose pliers to flatten down the reduce wire conclude.

Thread the best loop of the beaded adornment on to the ear wire with the concluded aspect dealing with outward. With ball-end ear wires, you don’t normally want to twist open the loop with just a very little tension, the adornment will slide about the ball end and rest securely in the ear wire loop.

Now that you have designed one earring, repeat the ways to make the next earring. To include fascination, I selected to flip the path of the bee in my next earring.
