Apart from making stringing bracelets and necklaces is the simplest jewelry making for beginners; I also think making earrings with eyepins is very simple and suitable to beginners. No double that many people know the eyepins are the pins with a small loop on one end. The loop can be attached to another eye pin, head pin, clasp or other findings and chains. Headpins have the similar function as eyepins, but just have a flat head at one end instead of a loop on eyepins.
To jewelry making beginners, maybe they are not experienced on using eyepins. Here are some tips will give you a lots help. Eye pins are widely used in earring making, necklaces making and bracelets making. Although they are used in different creations, their usages or functions are the same. Eyepins come in different gauges (usually 20-26 gauge) and lengths. Of course, some jewelry online stores will describe them as centimeter, just like PandaHall.com. It will offer you a detailed table about exchange between these two units.
As we said above, the simplest eyepin beading piece for a beginner would be a pair of earrings. Let us to do it together. First, decide on your bead pattern as it will fit on the eyepin. Drop the beads on the pin, and leave a length to make a loop. Bend the rest pin as 90 degrees right at the bead, perpendicular to the existing loop. Gently grasp the end of the eye pin in the round nose pliers and roll the pliers toward the bead. The end result you want is to have both loops twisted 90 degrees to each other. Use a jump ring to attach the loop you just made to an earring hook. Hold one side of the jump ring with your needle-nose plier and move the opening of the jump ring sideways. Slip the loop on the eyepin onto the jump ring. And now slip the loop of the earring hook onto the jump ring too. Close the jump ring. Add a small pendant on the other loop of your eyepin (the method is the same as you slip the loop of earring hook onto the jump ring). A lovely handmade earring is finished. Follow the same steps to make the other one to create a pair.
Maybe you are struggled on the road of jewelry making, but you will find it will open a whole new world to you as long as you can insist. Learning to make beaded jewelry is a fun, easy and affordable hobby if you can find a reliable jewelry materials supplier for you.
