Personally I love these and can't wait to make 'em! They look so fast and easy! Plus, the cubes rule.
These are very very pretty, will do them this weekend!!!
Would you believe it? Yesterday I decided to make a pair of earrings that were wirewrapped with beads. It took me a couple of hours to figure out how to do them and here we go today and you've posted the tutorial. They are almost exactly the same! Mine are made with 20g sterling silver, 26g for the wrapping and some tiny blue beads. Wish I'd seen this first.though. Might have saved myself a bit of time. Thanks. I love the free tutorials.
These are really simple earrings to make. And if you place your beads on the front flattened wire very close together, they make for some really lovely hoops in any type of small bead. Try it, you'll really life them.

Thanks for all you do for us beaders. This project looks like something I will do right now!!
You are awesome!
These are great!
Great look in one word: CUTE!
These are quick and fun to make. A 30mm diameter pill bottle worked well as a mandrel to achieve this shape. Mine are copper with 5mm hot pink pearls which are flat on one side --fall through winter colors. Thank you, Stephanie, for a very useful and pretty design!
