These earrings are really cute, they are a twist on the typical beaded hoop, as they feature a beaded bar in the centre and are slightly oval in shape. I used some green and blue beads to make this pair of earrings. Please note that this tutorial contains affiliate links.
You’ll need these tools and materials to make these earrings:
1: Two pieces of bracelet sized memory wire, one coil for each earring.

Follow these steps to make your statement earrings:
1: Add beads to the eye pins in your chosen pattern.
2: Bend the top of the pin to form an angle.
3: Loop the top of the pin using the round nose pliers.
4: Repeat steps 1-3 for the second eye pin.
5: Take one of the pieces of memory wire and loop one end using the round nose pliers.
6: Add beads to the wire. Bead to about half-way through the hoop.
7: Add one of the eye pins to the wire.
8: Add beads to the rest of the memory wire, leaving about 1cm without beads.
9: Loop the other end of the wire using the round nose pliers again. Thread it through the first loop you made before closing it fully.
10: Open the top loop of the eye pin and thread it through the two loops at the top of the hoop. Close it to secure the pin in place.
11: Repeat steps 1-10 for the second earring.
12: Attach an earring hook to each hoop using the jump rings.
