Wire-Wrapped Hoop Earrings - Session 1
Thursday April 9, 2026 1:00pm - 3:00pm PDT
In this session, participants will learn how to use a bead spinner to load seed beads onto wire, and then wrap the bead wire around hoop settings, and add (optional) dangle bead charm accents to create a romantic and fun pair of beaded hoop earrings!

Project Details: the main objective for this workshop will be for participants to learn how to use a bead spinner and learn techniques for wire wrapping seed beads onto a hoop. I would give participants the choice whether to make a pair of single hoop earrings, or if time permits and/or for more advanced students, a pair that has double hoops.
