This is a tutorial on how to make Ear cuffs from beads and wire. I've added several extra pictures at the end of the video in case anyone needs more visuals. This technique is extremely versatile in that you can use whatever beads you want and also play with designs to see what you like. You can make longer or shorter cuffs but please keep to the 2 inch/ 1.5 inch measurements in the beginning otherwise it may not fit your ear. You can add chains and dangle charms to the main wire too. In the examples I've used 8 and 4 mm bicone crystals, 10 mm octagon crystals with 2 and 4mm silver spacer beads but there is no limit to what beads you can use, in fact you don't have to use beads at all if you don't want to.

I have been doing wire wrapping for 20 years & never thought to do ear cuffs. Thank you for making this great Tutorial it is greatly appreciated.
I've watched some of your videos. You're a wonderful instructor.
The video description for materials and suggestions are not lacking.
The photography adds visual aid to complement the learning process.
You're a gifted, generous artist.
Thank you for the tutorial. So happy You Tube suggested your videos.
Thanks so much for your kind words. I love hearing that the videos are helpful. I know everyone learns differently and try to incorporate as many different modalities of teaching that I can. Glad to hear that it's working.:) all the best, and thanks again for your comments. Denise
Thank you, Denise. Your information & demonstration should be very helpful in trying to learn to make cuff -earrings. Used to have holes, but over several years, they have closed, so hopefully this will be a way I can incorporate the stud earrings I made years ago into ear cuffs. I'm not on Instgram so hopefully I can find the other tutorials you have made. This will be a challenge as I have both hand arthritis & carpal tunnel. Thank you again.
Good luck with your projects 😊
Your tutorials are great. Thank you and bless you to continue your good work.
WOW! Thank you so much. This by far the best tutorial on how to make ear cuffs. I really appreciated your MEASUREMENTS! I was able to grab a ruler, my wire and my tools and follow right along. Thanks again!
+Yanette Pedersen so glad it helped. Thanks so much for your input I really appreciate it ;) Denise

Thanks Dawn for your kind words, I really appreciate it. Good luck with your creations. I'm sure whatever you make will be amazing:)Denise
Hi, Denise! I am so glad I've discovered your channel. I am a new beader; starting with beadweaving, which I love, but I want to explore other techniques. I could watch your tutorials, and try the techniques, all day long. I think wire wrapping will be my new obsession. Thank you!
Once you catch the wire bug, there's no going back :) good luck with your creations!
Julie W She is awesome!

+Lashunnda Brinkley Glad it was helpful, good luck with your project :) Denise
Me gustan mucho los diseños, los haré, muchas gracias y saludos desde Costa Rica
These are so pretty! ❤ This will remedy my cartilage and 3rd piercing healing (it was too painful for a do-over! LOL!). I actually have some WWII era earrings that came from an upscale dept store and they are neither clip-on or pierced. They have a folded wire that fits inside your ear (hard to explain). Cuffs are different but the idea is very similar. Thanks for sharing! 😀
thank you! you made this very easy to follow!
I really liked your tutorial. Your video is the best I've seen. Thanks...I am hooked!

Great input as well as teaching, thanks for your help.
Thank you, Denise for sharing. Happy New Year. :)
Love this video! Thank you so much for sharing!
I have been dying to get into making ear cuffs, and you've made it SO SIMPLE! I just have a quick question (well, maybe not so quick once you see what it is). Why are there all these wires offered in "hard, half hard, etc. and what's the difference? I want to start off right :)
Hi Denise, I love these, and your instructions are very easy to follow. I made a pair for my mom for Mother's day last night, and I know she will love them! With the design I made, I didn't need to make mirror images, but I was wondering if instead of trying to make a mirror image, you could wrap one cuff around the Sharpie in one direction, and wrap the other cuff in the opposite direction? Thank you!
It's very beautiful
So Beautiful!
Thank you
Awesome thank you for sharing!!!
👍👍 nice
this type ear rings doing my be BDS student s also bcz BDS student s also doing wire bandings in UG
Thanks so much for this great tutorial ! This is the best one I've seen and I've been searching for the 'right way' to make ear cuffs for my granddaughter !!
jazzygal93 wow what a lucky granddaughter to have their grandmother to make them ear cuffs! Thanks for your input and good luck with your earmuffs :) Denise
Bellissimi ❤️ posso sapere che diametro è il filo per favore
Denise I made an ear cuff but it doesn't stay on? It is pretty but whats wrong with it?
Hi, sorry to hear that it's falling off. Since everyone's ears are different you might need to push in the wires around your ears so it fits more snugly on your ear, sometimes if the beads are too heavy it can cause it to be less stable as well but I can't say for sure unless I see the cuff. If you want to inbox me a picture of your ear cuff I'll see if there are any suggestions I can give for improving the fit. Hope this helps. Denise
Here it is....I cut the cuff and wrapped it....I have a piercing in that area and so i have put it through the piercing. BUT I would like to make them for people who don't have a piercing. Any thoughts. I love LOVE your tutorials. How do I send you a picture?
You can Inbox me at denise.mathew@yahoo.com and I'll have a look.
Thank you .....the only thing is you're a teeny bit fast and don't show the piece long enough! But that's all thanks! 😊
Denise you are AmazinG thank you for the tutorial. About 20 years ago my sweet ex bought me a pair almost identical at Venice Beach, CA for like 50$!!!
+Tonya Galang that's a really cool story, what's amazing is that this style was out there 20 years ago and it took this long for the idea to catch fire, your sweetheart really was ahead of the curve, hopefully you still have your original pair because it sound like a collectible, thanks so much for sharing 😊
+Tonya Galang 😊
Just a thought, if you made the earring cuff identical but rolled the cuff opposite ways would they end up mirror image? I'm not a wire worker so I'm just wondering...thanks
Maybe so, I’ll have to try it out. 😊
@@DeniseMathew great, you try it and let me know. Like I said I'm not a wire worker.
Too cool! I am inspired...can't wait to give it a go!! Just need to buy some 28 gauge wire to hold it together. Does it have to be 28? Tfs! ; )
Hi and thanks for your comment, no it doesn't need to be 28 gauge any wire will work to bundle it together. I just liked the delicate look of the 28 gauge and it's also easy to work with. Good luck with your project :) Denise
Great...Thanks Denise! Keep rocking that wire girl!! Have a great day! Kel : )
Love your tutorials but I noticed you had an ear mannequin I have been looking for one do you have any information as to where I can find one?
+LakeTahoe4me I bought it about 10'years ago in a Bead store in Florida I can't even remember the name. You're right they do seem to be harder to find I did find one at firemountaingems.com www.firemountaingems.com/itemdetails/h201307pk and here's a listing on Etsy.com too
