Description
This is a quickie tutorial I did last year for instructables.com, but i forgot to post it here. So, here it is.
The only measurements on it are the ones for the cuff portion and the length of 20g wire to start with. I did that because it's supposed to be a freeform ear cuff. This is just a suggested swirl pattern. Really, the only important part is getting the cuff portion correct so it fits. The rest is all up to your imagination.
If you use this tutorial, I do have one request. If you post it online, come back to this page and post a link to your work in the comments so we can all see what you made! Pretty please!

For those of you who aren't sure how to wear ear cuffs, here are instructions for how to put one on:

Do you generally shape the wire after it's been wrapped, or just before?

I was waiting to go to town and buy wire, so I started making simple ear cuffs out of coloured paper clips. Surprisingly, it actually worked out very well. Nice tutorial, I can't wait to try it out.

I wonder if i can use this in combination with my wire jig? oh i'v got to try that now.

I'm confused... the 28g wire is thinner than the 20g?
đ: 0 âŠ: 1
Yes. Higher numbers are thinner. Like ear gauges, an 8 is much smaller than say, a 2.

I made one! Just so lucky that the wires i needed just happen to be on my bed side table. Though there the only wires i own. I understand how they cuff works (i had a small clip one for a year before i got my fifth ear peircing) but i just cant seem fto get this one to fit on my ear! but heres a link. [link] the image is horrible cause i took it with my phone.

Looks cute from what I can see
How are you shaping the cuff? Are you making it more of a U shape or a C shape? (C shape holds better). I usually do mine by making a full circle out of it, then opening it a little bit so that the gap is about 4-5 mm wide. Hope that helps.
đ: 0 âŠ: 1
Oh i wore my old one much higher on my ear and it just didnt register with me that i needed to move it lower. . . but i used the fat end of my round tiped pliers. it makes a u shape. i made a seperate one for my self with a different design to wear to school and about five people want to have one! one happens to be a complete stranger! i am so glade you submited tge toturial because i love making the cuffs.

Cool, just made one. Didn't turn out quite right, but I'll try again.

So excited- I've always wanted a set of ear cuffs, as I don't have pierced ears, and now I can make them! Huzzah!
đ: 0 âŠ: 0
