little tutorial..



hello my friends!
Many of us will make Christmas Market, to sell our creations and  buy new beads and over again!


I've created this little display stand for earrings, and I wanted to share with you in all modesty.

i hope pictures will help you .. cause my english... as you know.. well, let's go

1) here is the hardware that you need, look at the picture,
 the most important being the wire, I use here some aluminum wire, very easy to work and inexpensive; the 2nd element is the polymer clay



Here I have 50 cm (19 inch) of wire, I fold in 2.




I make a loop at the end and begins to twist on a regular basis. on about 15 cm (6 inch)




                                it will keep you 2 stems not braided. (is it english??? )



Well put one on the left and right and make a loop at the same level (important for weight distribution of earrings)




end with arabesques.





Then I smoothed for hammers, you can also use a stamp, here I took the letter X to make small crosses







file ends and the top of the piece to give a rustic style.









2) base:  make a ball   in polymer clay,







plant the iron rod to make an impression ..







and cook according to manufacturer's recommendations.




Then we decorate, varnish .. and voila!





I added a small loop in the middle, put a Rinchie for decoration , but in fact is for putting the price.




i hope you will understand something !! hihihi.. and i hope it will help you a little!

Hugs
Esther

VERY helpful! I provide a local retailer with wirework jewelry & she's always asking me to dream up new display ideas. I used your tutorial (giving you the design credit of course) to make a multi-branched tree to hold 6 pairs of earrings and instead of the clay base, made 5 wireworked feet -- Voila!! Thank you so much -- and nice to meet you! (I found you via Twitter) Victoria www.freedomofstitch.com
