Bonus Project from 30-Minute Earrings

Hot off the press! 30-Minute Earrings releases next week! To celebrate, click here for a free sample of one of the 60 projects in the book: Bonus Project Instructions

This particular pair, made of iron wire, was designed by Brenda Schweder, and I decided to feature them because they not only look modern and cool, but even a first-time crafter can make them and have gobs of fun!

All of the earrings in this book can be made in 30 minutes or less. I tested this design to make sure of that fact: the project took me 25 minutes to create, and my version appears below. I didn’t have any iron wire, so I used black craft wire instead, and I didn’t have any tools other than a crummy set of round-nose pliers, which luckily had a cutter. So you won’t be surprised that my earwires look like doo-doo!

    Can't wait to see this new book! I'm not crazy about the iron wire circle earrings shown, but the others on the cover look very interesting….

  • Tiffany Brotherton

    Hmm, nope do not like the steel wire ones……I coat steel if I use it, never know if people keep up on their tetnis shots. The others look good, will check it out when its released.
