Starburst Earrings - supplies
 

Steps:

  1. Use a little bit of tension when wrapping the wire and count to make sure there are 7 coils around the pencil. Cut the wire evenly and you should see both ends of the wire on top of the pencil.
  2. Starburst Earrings - wire wrapped around pencil
     
  3. Remove the coil from the pencil and carefully bend it until it meets at both ends to form a 'starburst' pattern.
  4. Starburst Earrings - remove wire from pencil and bend into starburst shape
     
  5. Next make 2 jump rings. Wrap the wire with a little bit of tension around the skewer, making sure both ends are on top of the skewer, then snip the end carefully.

  7. Next you're ready to put your earrings together. You will need your fish hook earring wire, a jump ring, and your starburst. Pinch the ends of the starburst gently together, then add the jump ring to both of the loops that have the cut ends.

  9. Repeat all previous steps for the other earring, then adjust both earrings to make them match as closely as possible. Now it's time to wrap the earrings to give to someone special.....or if you just can't part with them....then it's time to put them on, go look in the mirror, and enjoy your cute starburst earrings.
