Screw back: This backing is a slight variation of the standard post and butterfly nut back. The omega clasp is the most secure clasp, especially for the larger, heavier earrings. The hinged lever closes around the post and is held against the ear with pressure. Omega: Also called French clips, this clasp has a straight post and a looped lever. This clasp is very secure and good for large or medium sized styles that drop just below the ear. Lever Back: A hinged lever snaps shut against the curved post to form a closed loop around the ear lobe. While thin wire hooks reduce the weight of long earrings, making them more comfortable, they aren't as secure as other clasp styles. Hooks have several variations, most notably the shepherd's hook and the French hook. Hook Backs: This earring backing is simply a long, bent post that fits through the piercing. Sometimes the hinged post is curved to provide more room to fit around the ear, sometimes called a saddleback. Hinged Snap Backs: This clasp features a hinged post that snaps into a groove on the back of the earring. The basic post and butterfly back are usually used for stud earrings and lighter weight drop earrings. Variations on this design are called push back clasps. Experiment with the different types to find the best fit for you!īutterfly Back: A double looped piece resembling a butterfly that fits over a post.
Keep in mind, some earring styles work better with certain back types. The backing is an important part of an earring, providing a secure closure and comfortable fit.

Oops actually that's because this guy worked its way around there you go. Now it can be a little tricky because I'm trying to not touch that tree very much and now I wanna bend back in place and we now have a fun modern take on a wire Christmas tree I'm noticing one is longer than the other half. It feels like it's a little straighter where they criss-cross gonna make a cut. To do that I'm going to just bend the wire to the side, take my round nose pliers and grip it bend it up and over rotate my pliers and complete my loop just bend it. I don't wanna bend it out of shape I do want them to be pretty even and they look like it take my head pin thread it through the middle and now I want to make a simple wire loop. One is a little bit longer than the other I am just going to squish it ever so gently just like a slinky. So now what we want to do is do a core Take our red head pin and place onto it a four millimeter bicone a six a four, a six, and a four another six and the final four. I'm going try not to bend this part out of shape just going to pull it down just a little added little touch. Slide it off slide my pen in the place of the mandrel and continue winding take it off snip it up top here and then for the bottom area I want to make a little flourish. So to begin I want you to measure out ten inches of your wire now you can make your tree larger or smaller so you can adjust this length accordingly and we're gonna start by taking the wire and pressing it against the side of our mandrel and just holding it in place and I'm just going to loop it around and around until I get up towards the top. You'll notice that this goes to a nice point but for the purpose of what we're gonna be doing to make this Christmas tree shape we want a little bit more of a tapered end so we're going to just use a pen and that is what you'll need for tools. Now I have this is BeadSmith 4-in-1 mandrel wire shaping tool and it just has a handle that fits onto each one of these different heads and I want to use the round one because it gives me a nice cone shape and then you'll also need a pen. This is one earring and this is one earring so you would double what you need here to make a complete set I've already made one and I'm going to need 3 bicones that are 6 millimeter and four that are four millimeter and that's all you'll need in terms of the actual ingredients to make these earrings now in terms the tools you'll need a ruler, you're going to need a pair of round nose pliers, chain nose pliers, cutters and then you're going to use something that is cone shaped. I have a head pin and I have an earring hook and so this is of course half. I've got green for the Christmas tree This is 22 gauge. It's a great holiday project In terms of the supplies you're going to need some artistic wire.
