Found this fantastic book about making beaded earrings. The designs in this book are so modern and yet really simple! You don’t see that a lot in beading books, many beaded designs are either complicated and boring or modern and ugly. From what I read about from reviews on “Earrings Earrings Earrings” by Barb Switzer, there is only positive feedback.

I’ve been looking for a good book on how to make beaded earrings with simple techniques, so now I’m so happy I’ve found it! :)

Making earrings can be so much fun, but it can also be a bit frustrating. If I have made a beaded necklace and want to make a pair of matching earrings, sometimes I’m out of ideas.

Then it is simple to think like this: Oh I can string this signature bead from the necklace on this head pin…and be done with it”. But how creative is that?

Inspiration for Beaded Earrings

It could be perfect in some cases where you have a really cool bead but having great earring making inspiration is what you really need! Those are the examples where you can see different ways how to make beaded designs for your earrings! The “Earrings, Earrings, Earrings” book will help you to be creative in your earring making.

Speaking of inspiration. I’ve found so many good ideas by studying earring designs wherever I can. Sometimes in books, magazines, shop windows or right on the persons wearing the earrings :) But be careful not to stare at people if you check out their jewelry!

Another good place to find earring inspiration is WigJigs gallery of earrings, you can find it here. To make the designs you find there you need a Thing-A-Ma-Jig or WigJig tool.

I have used the Thing-A-Ma-Jig tool a lot in my earring making and here my review.

With the help of those tools you can wrap and bend wire to make the most beautiful earring chandeliers and components.

Many designs you can see out on the street is very inspiring! But some are just crazy and reminds me of the Super Mario mushroom pattern from the other day.

Now, bring forth your beads and enjoy your beaded earring making!
