​Are you looking for a fun and easy jewelry project? Why not explore the world of crafting by making your very own oversized round bead statement earrings? These earrings not only offer a touch of individuality and elegance but also serve as wonderful, personalized gifts. Whether you're going for a laid-back look or gearing up for a special event, these earrings can complement any outfit.

In this guide, I used navy cord-wrapped large beads, but you can also create your unique yarn-wrapped large beads using the method outlined in my previous post, "DIY Earrings Tutorial - Yarn-Wrapped Magic: Creating Unique Wooden Bead Earrings."

With a little time and a dash of patience, you'll be crafting an elegant and unique pair of earrings. I hope you find as much joy in making them as I do!

Creating Navy Cord-Wrapped Ball Bead Earrings
Navy cord-wrapped ball earrings step-by-step instructions
Instructions:
  1. Gather your materials.
  2. Thread one 4-mm metal bead (antique brass), one 10-mm CCB disc bead, one 16-mm navy cotton-wrapped ball bead, one 10-mm CCB disc bead, and one 10-mm CCB round bead in that order onto a T-pin. 
  3. If the T-pin is longer than desired, trim it to leave approximately 10 mm (⅜”) above the last bead.​
  4. Bend the trimmed end of the T-pin wire at about 45-degree angle right above the bead.
  5. Using round-nose pliers, create an eye pin loop just above the 10-mm round bead.
  6. Open the loop at the base of the earring hook using pliers.
  7. Slide the open loop of your completed earring component onto the opened loop of the earring hook.
  8. Close the loop on the earring hook securely using the round-nose pliers.
  9. Repeat these steps to create the second earring.

​​Please note that any crafts or DIY projects should be attempted with caution.
