Boho Brass Earrings
by Andrea at Lima on 03/17/22
About this design:
The organic shapes of African brass beads lend a quirky, organic style to these earrings. I added a pop of color by using 4mm Czech glass fire polished rounds.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
You will need four brass tubes, 4 brass rice beads, 2 brass Ethiopian prayer beads, 2 textured jump rings, 3 pairs of ear wires, 2 flower brass spacers, 4mm fire polished Czech glass rounds, eye pins, head pins, and ear wires.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: For the earrings with the Ethiopian brass prayer beads, use an eye pin to create a bead charm out of the brass beads. Use head pins the create bead charms out of the fire polished Czech rounds. Then attach the beads charms to the jump ring. Attach the jump ring to the brass bead link. Now attach the ear wires. See Tip: Make a Wire Wrapped Bead Link See Tip: Wire Wrap a Charm |
Step 2: The two pairs of earrings using the brass tubes and rice beads are just strung onto head pins and then attached to ear wire. Easy peasy! |

Crystal Canary says:Yes, these do have a very organic feel with the African beads. I like the touch of color with the Czechs. So many possibilities. The simple design is perfect to wear with a variety of summer outfits. If you’ve got double pierced ears, wearing two at the same time would be cool. I also think the tiny tubes would be great to make fringe with.

K Ralston says:These are interesting and unique. The brass is so shiny at first I thought the rounder ones might be gold plated pearls.
