Gold Coin


Supplies:
2 - 30 mm gold round decorative discs
2 - 10 mm gold round decorative discs
4 - seed beeds
2 - 3" 20 guage gold colored copper wire 
2 - 2" 20 guage gold colored copper wire (for hooks)
2 - jump rings


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

Duration
30 minutes


Length: 3"

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

Take the 3" gold wire and create a wire wrapped loop. Thread the smaller disc and two seed beeds through the same wire and close with another wire wrapped loop. Attach the jump beads to the larger discs. Connect all three components. Create matching earring.
