How to Write with Jewellery
Send someone a subtle message with these simple and fun earrings. This technique is very adaptable and you can write whatever you want! Keep your wire on the roll—where possible cutting it off only at the last minute. You won't always know how much wire a word is going to take!

How to make
You will also need
1 X 3mm sliver jumpring
Decide on the words you are going to use, then draw them to scale on a piece of paper to create a template.
Keeping the silver wire on the roll, use round-nose pliers to make a small loop at the very end of the wire.
Start your writing from this loop. You may find it easier to bend the wire with your fingers rather than use pliers all the time. Continue to follow your template with the wire until your word is finished.
If you wish to hang a charm off the end of your word, ensure you finish the last letter with a small loop and, using a 3mm jumpring, attach your charm.
Open the loop on an earring hook, then thread it onto the small loop of your word and close.
Finally, repeat the process to create the other earring.
