Why take this course?
You will learn how to make earrings in this course. All video tutorials are very detailed, showing each technique step-by-step, which makes this course suitable even for complete beginners. Materials used in each video are listed in downloadable files.
When you start the course, you will first learn about earring-making tools. The tools you need are simple and affordable, you only need two types of pliers and one pair of wire cutter. No expensive tools (such as a heat torch or a jewelry making bench) are required.
Once you understand how to use pliers, you will then learn how to make a simple earring, made with one bead only. You will build your skills as the course progresses. Your next steps will be to learn how to make earrings with links, decorative connectors, bead caps or sparkly bead dividers. You could try all the techniques demonstrated in my videos. Or, you could just select your favorite techniques and use these. The techniques can be also combined to create statement earrings, as will be explained at the end of the course, when IΒ share my design tips with you.
While the techniques in this course are simple, you can create truly exquisite earrings with that ‘red carpet look’, using highly reflective crystals or genuine pearls, giving your earrings a touch of timeless elegance. If you are looking for just a bit of fun, you can use very simple colorful beads instead. Or, you could upcycle old bracelets and necklaces and turn them into earrings, as I will mention in the design tips section.
