You should hear me giggling right now. I followed along and made one. Keep in mind I am a total newbie, only made one simple wire wrap bracelet then decided to jump right in on this. After several mistakes, or deviations as I like to call them, I finished a set and I absolutely love them! I am giggling excitedly. lol. I'm silly, I know, but I have wanted a pair of these for a long time. Thanks for sharing with us!

Hi, I'm Ivonne, I would like, since I don't know English, to know the measurements only of the wire sections, I would appreciate it very much, you are my teacher, everything you make is very beautiful.

For those of you coming to this tutorial late, and wondering (like I did!) how long the wire for the frame is, after searching through all the comments, i found out it's 15 to 20 inches. 😊 Thanks for the awesome tutorial Yvonne!! These are gorgeous. ❤❤🧚🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️

I'm going to a medieval fair in a few days and I really wanted to go as an elf, but that meant I needed ears. I had tried wire wrapping before.. I made a tree of life pendant for my mom and I liked doing it so I thought: "I should make my own elf ears!" Then I just needed a tutorial and then I found yours and I am in love! I'm going to study your tutorial a few times so it's easier to wrap along :) I will attempt making these later today! Thank you ♡

I already work with wire to make bridal hair pieces and wire wrap jewellery but I've been wanting to start ear cuffs. I had a general idea of what I was going to do but looked up tutorials as I was unsure how they attach to the ear. So so happy I found this video. By far the best tutorial and most in depth description, not to mention enjoyable to watch. Thank you so much for sharing. Your cuffs are beautiful and I can't wait to get started!

I finished making these at 11 at night yesterday. I love them so much. I wore them to school and got many compliments. I used silver wire, black seed beads, and clear faceted bicone crystal beads. I wanted something neutral to go with every outfit :) This first attempt took around 3-4 hours but it was totally worth it.
