When I opened my mailbox on the 20th of December my jaw dropped to the floor. I set a goal for myself last year, to have one of my costumes be worn by the likes of Lady Gaga or Rihanna. I was always taught to set an unreachable goal for myself, but I never expected to be asked by the woman of the year 2020, A-list celebrity Cardi B.

Handmade gift – exciting picture
This unique ear cuff (no piercing required) looks like a pointed ear when worn. There is a wire in the back that goes around the back of your ear, similar to how glasses fit your head. I am focusing more on the general technique of how to make them than how to make this specific pair. Feel free to riff on my instructions here to make pieces for your own personal use or to sell. You can create your own template by tracing your ear and then drawing your template on paper before "tracing" it with the wire. If you want two perfectly symmetrical ears, you'll need to design it on paper first. After you have your basic ear template, draw your desired shape so that you can use it as your guide. Don't forget the curls (or some other design) at the wire ends or the wire will scratch your face and behind your ear. I personally like a more organic approach and enjoy making "siblings" rather than "twins". Neither approach is better than the other, it's a matter of taste. Skill level: Advanced beginner-intermediate. Project will take 1-6 hours, depending on your comfort level with making wire jewelry and the complexity of your final cuff. Measurements do not need to be exact for this project. This set took me about 4 hours from start to finish, including designing the interior elements. Supplies If you don't have the supplies already, you can find them at your local craft shop like Michael's, JoAnn's, or Hobby Lobby. Some big box stores like Wal-Mart carry them, depending on your area, and of course you can find all of these supplies and more online. Supplies needed Wire Cutters Round nosed Jewelry pliers. Additional pliers will help with gripping the wire at various stages. Pictured here are my flat-nosed pliers which I use frequently. 2 different gages of jewelry wire: I am using a gold plated 20 gage and a bronze plated 26 gage. Most of the cuff will be done in the heavier wire. 16-20 gage will be good for this. Any thicker and the wire will become difficult to use. The thinner wire will be used to connect parts together and for decoration. I'd use 24-26 gage wire for those bits. The thicker (24 gage wire) will be a little harder to work with but will be more stable and less prone to kinks. The color of the wire is up to you... and I've seen some neat cuffs done with colored wire, and glow in the dark wire would be a LOT of fun! Beads or chain for embellishments. Glass, plastic seed beads, stone, and crystal are all beautiful options. Chains can be hung from the loops and you can create several loops to hang more wire from (Of course, you'll need more wire than what's suggested here) (optional) Stencil of ear or cuff template, ruler Wire lengths needed Cut 2 lengths of the 20 gage wire approx 8" and 2 additional pieces of about 4". These will make the skeleton of the cuff. More wire will be needed depending on the size of the point of your ear. Making the skeleton Curl the wire inward to avoid scratching your face About 2.5-4 inches, depending on the size you want your ears, bend the wire into an acute angle. This will be the tip of the ear. (insert lame geometry pun here) About 1-1.5 inches from the point you just created, depending on your ear size, bend the wire so that the non-curled end points back to the ear tip. Gently squeeze the wire until the sides touch. Flat-nosed pliers are really useful here. Curl the remaining wire outward and bend into a C shape to fit around the back of your ear. Refine the wire shape by bending it slightly with your fingers to achieve more of an ear shape The inner part goes around the back of your ear. ** When making a pair of these, remember to bend the wire in the opposite direction to make a mirror image** Unless you have two left or right ears. Take one of the 4 inch pieces and curl both ends inward and shape the wire with your fingers to make a C shape or an upside down V, or any other shape you want here. This part will rest near the top of your ear The unassembled skeleton Connect the C shape to the outside ear shape with the 26 gage wire. Wrap tightly with no overlap for a neat appearance. This may take some practice. Attach at 2 points, at the inside of the ear near the bend and the outside near the curl. Adjust the shapes once attached to get a pleasing arrangement of the curls. Now for the fun part, EMBELLISHING!! This is the most time-consuming part of the process, but where all of the creativity comes in. You can string beads, create S-Shaped wire curls by curling 1-inch sections of 20-gage wire in opposite directions, Loose figure 8 shapes, whatever strikes your fancy. Attach additional wire embellishments with the smaller wire. A few wire shape ideas Attach shapes with the small-gage wire. The brass wire is wrapped around both the skeleton and the embellishment a few times. It can be cut and the ends tucked in or the wire can wrap loosely around the object. Flat nosed pliers are very useful for tucking ends of wire so they don't scratch you. "Tuck in" the ends of your wire for a smooth, non-scratchy profile. While this is easiest chain nose pliers (they have ridges on the inside for grip and a narrow head), I find flat head pliers work in a pinch. Leave about a 1mm tail or less and use the pliers to gently coax the wire into place. Nip any overhang with your wire cutters or file any edges down. Attach beads in the same manner. If these are for you, put them on, adjust for comfort and appearance until they look like how you want them to. I like them curved gently so that they lay flat to my ear. This is the first pair I did, to show how they look on an actual ear. This pair does use more than 8 inches for the the outside of the ear, but I'm not exactly sure how much... eyeballing and all. This set is black wire with freshwater pearls. Need inspiration or further instructions? This is the original YouTube video that I used to get me started: DIY Fairy Ear cuff tutorial I'd love to see your results! Post them here or tag me (Kitsune_crafts) on Instagram! Beginner tips: To avoid sharp, poky ends, cut the wire with the flat edge of the wire cutters facing the wire in use. Hold the pliers firmly but gently. Strong pressure on the wire will mar the texture. This gets problematic with small bits, so work slowly and carefully. Try to avoid wire that's labeled "Dead soft" as this is pretty easy to scuff with little or no pressure, even if it's easier to bend. It's still a workable wire and will create a pretty cuff if it's your only choice.

Today, I thought I would introduce you to a great British bead maker and jewellery designer, and someone that I am lucky enough to call a friend Claire Lockwood of Something to do and Something to do beads. Like me, she is from the UK and not only makes the most incredible and inspiring art jewellery, full of texture, colour and of course, art beads, but also makes her own polymer beads. She is one of those people who I know that when I tune into her blog, on her facebook feed, I will find something unexpected and lovely to inspire me. The wonderful thing about polymer clay is just how different it can become, depending upon the hands in which it is in. Claire has her own unique style within her art beads, and last year began selling them on etsy, so that we can all enjoy working with them. I asked her a few questions about her creative process. Q1.How long have you been creating, and what led you to begin? A1. As a child and into my teens and early twenties I was very creative. I was always drawing as a kid and this continued and I actually did two years of a Fine Art degree at Chelsea. I’ve had health problems throughout my adult life and they first reached a head when I was at art college. I took a year out and couldn’t face returning, so I took up studying Literature instead. I’ve always felt a bit of a loss when I remembered all I got out of drawing and painting – and creating, in general. I spent a long time avoiding thinking about what I’d given up. Then, some years ago now, I developed an interest in vintage jewellery - all jewellery, really - and I eventually decided to try making jewellery myself. So, I am now, finally, getting some chance to pick up the kind of interests I gave up. Fox on the Lawn Q2.What do you find inspiring? A2. Sometimes I can just be thinking about something and it will occur to me that it might be translated into jewellery or beads. Other times, I’ll see some neat thing and I think, ‘Ah! I could make a bead along those lines’. I often work around a particular bead or material and take guidance from that. I also love trawling the internet, and Pinterest in particular – it’s a wonderful source of ideas and inspiration. Stonewash Q3. Describe your workspace – are you lucky enough to have a studio set up, or are you like me and work in odd corners of your house? A3. My workspace - if you can call it that - is one third(-ish) of my living room. I have a large, cluttered table on which I make jewellery and beads and do whatever else requires a table (including eating, etc.). Basically my workspace works around my living space and my living space works around my workspace. I’d love to have a studio. There are so many things I really want to do (have a kiln, do lampwork and metalwork - it’s a long list!) that just can’t be done in the space I have. Claire's creative space Q5.What are your favourite materials to work with and why? A5. Well, I make polymer clay beads and I’ve just starting using a new system that allows you to give beads a metal coat on which you can develop a patina that you can also dye, so I’m loving that at the moment. I can see so much potential in it. When, it comes to making jewellery, I do like using art beads, in all sorts of media, and also vintage beads and components - I think they’d be top of my desert-island-beads list. Q6 If you were to draw attention to a favourite designer or artist, who would it be and why? A6 I’m really struggling to think of one individual, especially when it comes to jewellery. My taste is really quite eclectic and diverse. Rather than draw attention to any one person, it seems more accurate to say a wee thank you to all the many artists and designers from whom I’ve learnt some small, vital or very useful thing. Some are people I’ve got to know via the internet, but there are many that I couldn’t name now, as I’ve just stumbled upon their work online. So, three cheers for the internet! Q7 What drew you to art beads, and in turn to your specific medium of polymer clay? A7 I think it was the case that I’d been beading for some time when I became aware of this ‘other type’ of bead that was out there, partly through seeing them being used in other people’s designs, and partly through seeing them for sale occasionally. At the time I had no real idea of the vast realm of bead sourcing that is Etsy! At around the same time, I saw a polymer clay demonstration. I was immediately drawn to it and thought I’d give it a go. I did ceramics for several years when I was younger so I figured it was something I might be able to do. In time I discovered that, not only could I make beads to use myself, I could also make beads that other people might like to own too. Penny Button Q. 8 Can you describe a little (without giving away any trade secrets!) of your bead making process? A. 8 On the whole, in the past, I think I’ve often started out with the idea of the bead I want to make in my mind before I start, rather than playing around with the clay to see where that takes me. I don’t tend to use lots of the traditional polymer techniques, unless they will allow me to achieve the look of the bead I’ve imagined. I frequently use the clay to create a sculpted base that I paint once baked. One reason why I like this new patina system I’ve been using is that it’s given me the opportunity to experiment and develop my ideas whilst making. It’s a different approach and I’m really enjoying it. Q.9 Which art bead artists do you find inspiring? A.9 Where to start?! I try to avoid taking too much inspiration from other people’s beads. But, of course, when you see something you admire, you can’t help but be influenced by it – well that’s how I see it, anyway! As with jewellery designers, I can’t really pick out one or two bead makers as predominate influences, but I can certainly offer a list of folk who just keep producing things I really love – although some of them are bead artists who create beads I love to use, rather than being an inspiration for my beads. Oddly, none of them are polymer artists: Scorched Earth, Slate Studios Supply, Moogin, Grey Bird Studio, Jubilee, HappyFallout. Of course, that list could be several times the length but you have to stop somewhere. Luxe Thanks Claire, for sharing your thoughts with me today.
