Thank you Abby the instructions were simple to follow and concise, sometimes when you read other people's tutorials they make no sense whatsoever and the item you are trying to make turns out nothing like the instructions, you pictures are broken down so that you can actually see what you are trying to achieve. many thanks diane
OTTIMO! Spiegazioni molto chiare! Grazie
hi the 20gauge wire?what exactly is the thickness?i know this seems a silly question but ive been trying out 0.8mm and 0.4mm copper based but not sure how to work out gauge thnx
Thank you so much Diane for you comment - what a compliment!!! I am so glad you enjoyed it.
Abby

Hi Terenewoodfine, it is not a silly question at all. 20 gauge is 0.8mm, I think 0.4mm would be too thin for the earrings to hold their shape. Let me know if there is anything else you need to know and I hope to see what you have created.

Thank you for this easy to understand and follow tutorial. I'm just now starting to work with wire, and think this will be a great project to try! My only problem is that when I find wire at craft stores and the like (not wanting to purchase anything too expensive for practice) it never says whether it is soft, half hard or dead hard. How can you tell without buying it and trying it out?
Hi Holly, thank you for your wonderful comments, my experience with practice wire (copper and SP) is that it behaves somewhere between softand half hard silver wire. So as long as the project does not require dead hard it is fine to use for most things.

These earrings are so cute! They are appropriate for young and old! Thank you so much for sharing the tutorial with all of us!
Thank you Nancy, this is a very versatile design as you say - so I hope you will have lots of fun with it. Would love to see what you make : )
