These earthy earrings with handmade batiked bone beads and rustic ceramic patina spikes create a modern silhouette that I love.

Supplies you’ll need:

You will need waxed cord, 2 batiked bone spacer beads, 2 ceramic patina copper spikes, 2 antique silver ceramic barrels, crimp covers, and a pair of ear wires.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step

Step 1

Cut 8 inches of waxed cord. Feed it through the spike hole and tie and simple knot.

Step

Step 2

Slide the barrel bead onto the cord, then slide one tail through the front of the batiked saucer.

Step

Step 3

Bring the other tail through the back and up the front to the top.

Step

Step 4

Create a knot at the top.

Step

Step 5

Form a loop at the top, wrap the cord around the base of the loop and back through to knot.

Step

Step 6

Cover your knot with a crimp bead. Close with pliers.

Step

Step 7

Attach your ear wire.
