Ganutel earring workshop

To make earrings with your own hands, first of all, you need accuracy and perseverance. But the result can be overwhelming, given that material costs will be minimal.

Necessary materials and tools:

• Thin and thick wire;
• Silk threads for embroidery or crochet iris;
• Ruler;
• Scissors;
• Nippers;
• Wire navigator (consider how to replace it with other means);
• Schwenzy;
• Beads (optional).

Making the base spring

It is necessary to cut the desired length of the thick wire, gently wrap a thin wire on it. To give the product a professional look and speed up the winding process itself, a wire winder will help.

It is clear that not everyone has it, so we suggest using the means at hand:

1. To create a home-made navigator you will need a knitting needle (2 mm in diameter) with a bent end and a plastic box from a kinder surprise.
2. The box is pierced through with a needle.
3. The end of the wire is threaded into the knitting ring and tightly fixed so that it does not fly off during the winding process.
4. The stopper in this case is a plastic box.
5. You should wind the wire by pressing it firmly with your hand to the box.
6. Upon reaching the required winding length, the wire should be bitten off, leaving a small tip.

Spring stretching

The resulting wound spiral is removed from the spoke and stretched like a spring. The best option would be if equal gaps are formed between the curls, which are equal to the thickness of the thread used.

Important! Having done the above steps, you can cut off the ends of the spring, leaving only a spiral for operation.

Frame manufacturing

A thick wire frame is inserted inside the spiral, which helps maintain the shape of the decoration.

Form creation

This is a matter of taste and thought in general. You can give the spring various shapes - a rhombus, circle, square, droplet, heart.

Important! Having gained experience in the ganutel technique, be sure to try to make earrings in the form of a peacock feather.

After shaping, create a loop and twist the ends of the wire at the very base.

Threading the warp

This is the most interesting stage of work. Having picked up a certain color gamut, alternating colors and using different directions when winding (parallel, from the middle, etc.), after 5-10 minutes you can see the result of your labors.

Important! One turn of a spiral - one step of winding a thread.

Decoration with beads, sparkles, rhinestones, feathers
