Silver Ball Earrings

Enjoy making these beautiful earrings, to wear or gift, by following our simple step by step written instructions or by watching our video tutorial.

Step 1

Using a side cutter, cut the Silver chain in half.

Step 2

Open the earring hook by gripping one side of the jump ring with chain nose pliers and the other with snipe nose pliers. Gently twist the pliers in opposite directions to open the earring hook.

Step 3

Thread on the Silver chain. Hook the earring hook 2/3 along the chain through one of the links so the chain is sat at the loop part of the hook wire and the chain dangles down either side.

Step 4

Open a jump ring by gripping one side of the jump ring with chain nose pliers and the other with snipe nose pliers, and gently twisting the pliers in opposite directions. Thread a Silver ball onto the jump ring, thread the jump ring onto a link in the Silver chain and close the jump ring using the chain nose pliers and snipe nose pliers.

Repeat this process until you have added all the beads and jump rings.

Step 5

Repeat the above steps to make another earring, to complete the set. You could make your earrings a mirror image to make an exact matching pair or you could add the jump rings randomly to create similar, but unique earrings.
