Geometric Square


Supplies: 
2- 13 x 11 mm clear square glass beads
2 - 2" 20 guage antique gold colored copper wire (for hooks)
2 - 2" 20 guage antique gold colored copper wire (for beads)


Tools
Basic Tool Kit
Ring Mandrel or Sharpie marker (to create round bend for hooks)

Duration
30 minutes


Length: 1 1/2"

The Idea
To create the hook, take the 2" wire and create a loop at one end. Wrap the wire around a cylindrical object, something like a permanent marker for the round bend. 

Take about a 1" length wire and with chain nose pliers, bend over about 1/16" wire over itself to create a headpin. Thread the glass bead through and close with a wire loop. Attach wired bead to hook. Create matching earring.
