DIY: How to Make an Ear Cuff
The other day when I was looking around Etsy, I found this awesome ear cuff and I had to try to figure out how to make it. While something as dainty and cute as this little cuff usually isn’t quite my style, (I go for loud, colorful, and over-the-top) I thought it was too cute to pass up. πŸ™‚

You need:
Jewelry pliers
-Wire
-Wire cutters

Step 1: First you need to twist two pieces of wire together so that it becomes one piece of wire.

Step 2: With one end of the wire hanging out, wrap the other around the widest part of the pliers to make a loop.

Step 3: Switch sides and make another loop to mirror your first loop.

Step 4: Bring the longest end of the wire out about 1/2” and loop it back towards the bow.

Step 5: Repeat on the other side and wrap the wire around the middle of the bow to secure everything in place.
