Apart
from making stringing bracelets and necklaces is the simplest jewelry making
for beginners; I also think making earrings with eyepins is very simple and
suitable to beginners. No double that many people know the eyepins are the pins
with a small loop on one end. The loop can be attached to another eye pin, head
pin, clasp or other findings and chains. Headpins have the similar function as
eyepins, but just have a flat head at one end instead of a loop on eyepins.

To
jewelry making beginners, maybe they are not experienced on using eyepins. Here
are some tips will give you a lots help. Eye pins are widely used in earring
making, necklaces making and bracelets making. Although they are used in
different creations, their usages or functions are the same. Eyepins come in
different gauges (usually 20-26 gauge) and lengths. Of course, some jewelry
online stores will describe them as centimeter, just like PandaHall.com. It
will offer you a detailed table about exchange between these two units.

As
we said above, the simplest eyepin beading piece for a beginner would be a pair
of earrings. Let us to do it together. First, decide on your bead pattern as it
will fit on the eyepin. Drop the beads on the pin, and leave a length to make a
loop. Bend the rest pin as 90 degrees right at the bead, perpendicular to the
existing loop. Gently grasp the end of the eye pin in the round nose pliers and
roll the pliers toward the bead. The end result you want is to have both loops
twisted 90 degrees to each other. Use a jump ring to attach the loop you just
made to an earring hook. Hold one side of the jump ring with your needle-nose
plier and move the opening of the jump ring sideways. Slip the loop on the
eyepin onto the jump ring. And now slip the loop of the earring hook onto the
jump ring too. Close the jump ring. Add a small pendant on the other loop of
your eyepin (the method is the same as you slip the loop of earring hook onto
the jump ring). A lovely handmade earring is finished. Follow the same steps to
make the other one to create a pair.
Maybe
you are struggled on the road of jewelry making, but you will find it will open
a whole new world to you as long as you can insist. Learning to make beaded
jewelry is a fun, easy and affordable hobby if you can find a reliable jewelry
materials supplier for you.
