Elven ear cuffs - wire work

Hi Guys in this tutorial I want to show you how to make wire ear cuffs. This tutorial is a bit longer than normal as it was quite involved (more than I anticiatepd lol) These are as much fun to wear as they are to make. You just need to adjust the frame to fit the shape of your ear. I will show you how to create the frame, add your base wires, create the weaves and set gemstones. If you are not comfortable setting un-drilled gemstones, you can use drilled beads instead. I hope you like it! Leave a comment below!
