    EMBELLISHED CHAOS EARRINGS

    The Embellished Chaos Earring design adds color and visual weight to the Chaos Earrings by
    incorporating several 2mm beads onto the 22-gauge wire at about halfway through wrapping
    the 8-inches of wire.

    Tools and Materials: To make these earrings, the hand tools you will need are a wooden
    hand vise, two chain-nose pliers, side cutters, measuring tape, and a 7mm wooden mandrel.
    The materials you will need are two 22-gauge silver wires cut into 8-inch lengths; two 2-inch
    long, 19-gauge silver headpins; and ten 2mm beads (eight black onyx and two carnelian).
