Twist Earrings
To make solid color earrings you'll need the following cut:
Floss for each earring: one 1 yd. strand (the working strand) and
three 15" strands (the "anchor strands" or base).
Arrange strnads so working strand is on left and anchor strands
are on the right.
Tie strands in knots as in diagram 2, leaving 4" tail. Tape
to surface. Follow steps 1-4 of SOLID COLOR TWIST instructions
until desired length. Tie strands in knot as in beginning. Trim
tail to same length as beginning tail.
If you want to use more than one color, use 1 yd. length of
each color you want to show on outside of earring. Remaining
strands should be 15" each. There should be a working strnad
just as in the MULTI COLOR TWIST instructions. The 1 yd. strand
which is not being used as the working strand will beused as a
base (anchor) strnade. There should always be 3 strands at the base.
Attaching earrings to wire hooks:
Wire hooks as shown in gif can be purchased at any craft outlet.
Step 1: Thread earring thru the loop at the bottom of the wire
hook and hold tail end of earrings. Tie tails together in
knot.
Step 2: Pull wire hook from bottom up to one side of knot as
shown.
Step 3: Seperate tails at the top. Bring tails around bottom of
wire hook and tie knot on other side. This will stabilize hook.
Trim excess tails, if any.
