DIY: Cluster Hoops


I love Hoops! 
This time I made some cluster hoops with swarovski crystals, they're really easy to make and they look gorgeous, besides you could use almost any kind of gems you have on your DIY storage, even pearls!


You'll need: Hoops (bought mine at JewelryBoxStore for $1), crystals (about 60), jewelry wire (gauge 24) and jewelry pliers and wire cutter.


Start by wrapping the jewelry wire on one side of the hoop, you could make the cluster all around the hoop or just in the middle (like I did). Wrap it around 3 times, then add 30 crystals to the wire, when you're done, start wrapping the wire with the crystals to the hoop, don't let the wrap too loose, tighten it a little. 


When you finish wrapping, wrap wire on the end like you did on the first step, 3 times would do it. Cut the wire and voilá!
I also made a pair with Pearls and Gold Hoops.
And as always, I leave you some options in case you don't want to DIY, or so you could get more inspiration!
