Materials:
- Beads – any beads will do, but this will cover a double holed bead like these doughnuts
- 20 gauge wire
- Head pins
- Assorted beads
- Round nose pliers
- Chain nose pliers
- Wire cutters
Instructions:
- You don’t want to see a wire in the center of the doughnut beads, so you’ll want to begin with 2 head pins and thread them from the center out. The wire tails need to be rounded to thread this way.
- Grab on wire tail and wrap it around the round nose pliers to form a loop.
- Wrap the rest of the tail around itself below the loop 2 or 3 times. Use the chain nose pliers to grab the wire end while the round nose pliers are still in the loop.
- Trim off excess.
- Try different combinations of beads until you get the look you want.
- Repeat the loop on the other side of the doughnut, but don’t close it.
- Make a loop on the top of the beaded head pin and close it by wrapping the tail around under the loop.
- Slide the closed loop of the dangle on the open loop at the bottom of the doughnut.
- Close the last loop.
