Free & Easy Projects: Spike Earrings!

Often, chainmaille projects consist of hundreds or thousands of jump rings linked through/over/between/under each other, creating gorgeous, intricate weaves. This is not one of those projects. And we LOVE it! Pick up those pliers and make our newest free & easy project: Spike Earrings.

Designed by B3 team member Darlene Ostrowski of Do Bats Eat Cats? fame, these earrings can be made in just three simple steps. They’re fun, lightweight, sculptural earrings unlike anything you’ll find in a store. 

Materials needed:
16 aluminum scales
4 anodized aluminum scales
2 medium jump rings (We used L16 AA; L = 1/4” (6.4 mm); 16ga SWG = 0.062” (1.6 mm).)
2 earwires
