How to Use the EZ Earring 2
ezb2-a.jpg (37113 bytes)
Cut a piece of 20 or 22 gauge wire to approximately the length of the ear wire tool.
ezb2-c.jpg (22486 bytes)
Take the pin...
ez2-d.jpg (31494 bytes)
Put it in the hole.
ezb2-b.jpg (37081 bytes)
Put the wire in between the pin and the peg.
ezb2-d.jpg (30551 bytes)
Line up the end of the wire with the line that's etched on the tool. Click on the photo to see the etched line more clearly.

Bend the wire a bit with your finger.
ezb2-g.jpg (30790 bytes)
Pick up the smaller of the two black winders. Notice that there's a little peg on it. that little peg will catch the wire and spin it around the metal pin.
ezb2-h.jpg (35492 bytes)
Spin the winder to make the wire wrap around the pin and you've made a loop.
ezb2-i.jpg (34662 bytes)
Now, straighten out the wire so the loop sits up nicely.
ez2-j.jpg (34607 bytes)
Put the loop on the peg next to the earring shape.
ez2-k.jpg (35230 bytes)
Bend the wire around with your fingers.
ez2-l.jpg (26976 bytes)
Pick up the big winder, notice where its peg is. That peg will wind the wire around the earring shape. Spin the winder.
ez2-m.jpg (30406 bytes)
Now your earring is done.
ez2-n.jpg (32393 bytes)
Use a chain nose (flat nose) pliers to bend the end of the wire back a bit.

And you're done!
For a custom look, skip the first step of making the loop so that you can add a bead.  See the turquoise sample at the top of the page.  Then finish off the loop manually with a round nose pliers. And add your matching dangle!
