Tools
  1. Round nose pliers
  2. Flat nose or chain nose pliers
  3. Cutters
  4. File
  5. Sharpy
  6. Hammer and block (for hardening)

Materials
  1. 10 - 12mm round beads
  2. 9” 18g wire per bead
Directions
  1. Cut one piece wire 9” long (per bead)
  2. File all ends
  3. Mark center of each wire with sharpy
  4. Make small loop on the ends of the wires going in opposite directions
  5. Spiral around continuously till you reach the center mark on one side
  1. Make same spiral on the opposite end going in the opposite direction to create a very fancy S
  2. Gently hammer the S piece to slightly harden it
  3. Pull up the center loop on one side to make connector *(if you are doing a chain of these beads, pull up the loop on the opposite side as well)
  1. Fold each S in half making a v shape
  2. Gently grab the center of one spiral and pull outward to create a cup
  3. Repeat on other side of spiral
  4. Place bead inside and use fingers to close and shape around the bead
  5. It is now ready to hang
  For earrings make an earwire of your choice out of 20g round wire.I have many choices in my Projects section to choose. 
    This technique can be used for any shape bead, even long styles, just recalculate the length of wire needed and how big a spiral you need. For a long and yet thinner beads you can spiral the wire around a dowel after making the first loop (it will look like a spring).
