A Pair of Hoop Earrings

These are two earrings I've made for my garb. Both are made with materials from Fire Mountain Gems. Start with a hoop form. Thread whatever beads or pearls you like onto the form. Use a pair of pliers to twist back the plain end 90 degrees. Presto, they're earrings.

In the above earring, an 8mm pearl and 2 amber-colored glass rocaille beads were used.
The pearl earring to the left just has the 8mm pearl strung on it.
Neither pairs of earrings cost more than $1 or so to make.
