If you're like me and you grew up in the 60's & 70's you may have a pair of large hoops in your jewelry box - so pull them out and give them an updated look. Find this simple beading project from The Bead Studio with 32 other great gifts ideas in the Homemade Christmas Gift Guide.

 

Embellished Hoops Final Product

Materials:

  • One pair large Hoop earrings - ours are 55mm (just over 2")
  • One yard 28g wire - cut in half (if your hoops are bigger use longer wire).
  • Faceted Seed Beads

Steps:

  1. Holding on to a 1" tail of wire, wind the end of the wire around the top of the hoop 4 or 5 times to anchor.
