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!

[@backtoearthcreations]

hehe, right on!!! I love "deviations"!!

[@ivonnecruzsavatiel9803]

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.

[@jjherrell]

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. ❤❤🧚🏻‍♀️🧚🏻‍♀️

[@scrapahaulic]

in the beginning she stated they are 14" long and 8" long

[@madisonakagg9453]

I am 66 years old and I'm obsessed with All things Fae. I think you are ADORABLE. Your videos are stellar. My next step will be to click on your patreon link. Thank you for generosity in sharing

[@backtoearthcreations]

hehe, thanks Madison!!

[@apsaraa8209]

+ Madison:I am with you. This gal is amazing. In our 60's, we still love fantasy, right? Have an wonderful day.

[@madisonakagg9453]

For sure. From the time I was about 10, I would make up stories of my adventures in Fairyland to tell my siblings. I did that till I moved out at 18. Wish i could remember them now. Wishing you a rich Fantasy life

[@juliedoyle920]

I’m 51 and loving all of this!!

[@TylerE86508]

Pfft I could do that Tries it: Intense crying

[@sbcollyer3994]

Thank you so so so so much. You have no idea how much i enjoyed this video. it genuinely re-ignited the spark that i had lost... my desire to create. "its art, not science" such a beautiful way to stomp out that little annoying voice that tells me my art is never perfect or "good enough" thank you beautiful human being for sharing your art and ideas.

[@backtoearthcreations]

❤️❤️☺️❤️❤️ Thank you for your kindness!

[@irenamaria8859]

I've been making jewelry for a few years now, but wirewrapping always seemed really complicated and intimidating to me. Your tutorials are really easy to follow though, so I think I might give it a go and try to make a simple piece!

[@backtoearthcreations]

Hey, Irena! You don't have to be an expert to enjoy what you do; hopefully my tutorials will have been helpful to you!

[@pattiwiser388]

Oh I am a complete klutz when it comes to wire wrapping lol

[@saszanjimenez]

maybe next time you could show us wearing the finish product to see how it looks

[@saszanjimenez]

thanks! thats realy cool =) i tried making one to no success LOL

[@Knorkooli]

I was going to say the same thing!

[@dawnwright5422]

I really like your work. You are really good at wire wrapping and beading. I have been practicing wire wraing my crystals.Thanks for your help. You are very encouraging too.

[@dendelion2349]

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 ♡

[@bellaronchese3279]

would like an after image with the elf cuff on an ear, love the video and thank you !

[@backtoearthcreations]

I think I have some images floating around on my facebook, and I am glad you like the video!

[@shasaeverly9939]

wow this video is so old and i’m still using it to make fairy ear cuffs! i’m in the process of making some of these and i haven’t finished the entire video yet but i just wanted to say this is an amazing tutorial and you seem like such a sweet person, couldn’t have found a better tutorial 🥺❤️

[@midoritea9076]

I never knew I wanted to make stuff like this so much before..... I even had a dream where I went to the shops and while I was looking at all the stuff I saw wire and fangirled :P

[@backtoearthcreations]

lol, woah!

[@denisewalker8832]

Hey Von!! Nice throw back!!🖖❤❤❤

[@hannahfay59]

Absolutely love it....

[@Ann-kv3yb]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! In my art class I am doing wire wrapping jewelry as my final project and your tips about fitting on the ear at the 39, 40 minute mark are especially helpful! I couldn't begin to tell you how hard it was trying to find specifics about the fitting and then here you are!

[@ivymurrow990]

right?! I made my adult son try them on so I could see how to adjust them. Son: "MOOOOMMMMM SERIOUSLY?!!" He does it anyway. Son: "Wow these are kind of cool!"

[@AntediluvianHeart]

these are so beautiful, I can't wait to try it. Thank you so much for sharing

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you! I'd love to see how they come out :)

[@maxinee1267]

[@christinasteffes6771]

Thank you for the video 😊. I used it to make my first pair.

[@ChasingWhimsyPortraitArt]

Great teaching! Thank you!

[@kaylamp21]

This is by far the best tutorial I’ve ever seen!! I’m pretty new to making jewelry with wire but I’m OBSESSED with how my ear cuffs turned out!! 😁💙

[@v3x1107]

I love this tutorial! Edit: I've seen these at the Renissance Festival and I've wanted to know how to make them, thanks for the tutorial, again!😅

[@Morganella8]

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!

[@hummerklein2567]

I enjoy your direction so nicely done

[@laurenwallin3768]

Excellent tutorial!

[@hwatinyy]

This was my first time making any kind of ear cuff and they turned out amazing. Thank you so much!!

It's so beautiful, thanks a lot.

[@chloedenuto3292]

This is an amazing tutorial! Everything was so clear, and as a newbie who has never even used pliers, this helped me make some cute ears for my Halloween costume!

[@happydayshappycrafts4611]

Wow your tutorials are so good I made these ear cuffs and they are so pretty I love them Thank you so much :)

[@backtoearthcreations]

Yay! :-D

[@Tessanna12]

These elf ears are so beautiful and cool! I have never seen a design of yours didn't like, Yvonne (been binge watching all of your wire wrapping and PC vids. Next i'll be checkout leather crafting. You are and amazing artist 👩‍🎨and teacher👩‍🏫. Thank you for being so generous with your time and sharing your talents here. I've learned so much. Wish I had a COSplay event or Halloween 🎃🎉🎈party to wear them to. I'll probably make them anyway just for the skill-building opportunities. Or I could just wear them around the house🏡 and my kids would say I was crazy 😎

[@grayrainbow100]

I’m so so SO excited to try this, thank you for such a comprehensive tutorial! Especially the list of materials, I have all but the 18 gauge, can’t wait to give this a try :D

[@backtoearthcreations]

Right on! Happy Crafting!

[@hollyb7142]

You're a sweetie, thank you! You're directions are so easy to follow. But, it does look easier when you do it. 😜 You're so talented and these are beautiful. I'm trying to make some for my granddaughters for Christmas. I hope they turn out half as nice as yours. 😅

[@raycook3907]

Beautifully crafted!! I wish I could find the creativity to make stuff like this!!! Awesome job!

[@backtoearthcreations]

heya, Ray! I think you have it in you :p and thanks :-D

[@thaliabauendahl1219]

It took me four tries from the beginning, but the last time went really well and I made it !! I'm so happy, thank you so much for sharing this. It sure taught me something about being patient with projects and now I can cosplay Spock :) 🖤 That was really a lot of fun to do.

[@debraheuer2583]

Thank you so much! Ours turned out beautifully. I'm not going to say it was simple, but the directions were super clear and easy to follow.

[@Julia_Mwa]

My job after I finish school is going to be a jeweller I’ve know it would be that since I was a little girl my interest in drawing and making things leads me to that job and making these will make me so happy if I finish them

[@kaiyru1259]

Oh wow, I just now ran into this video and its just beautifully done ! .... I love it. Thank you for this lovely video ♡

[@backtoearthcreations]

Hey, Ria! I am glad you like this! :)

[@pattiwiser388]

They are beautiful. I hope that I will be able to copy this as well as you make them. Blessings Elven sister💚💚💚🌲🌲🌲💚💚💚

[@AnnAnonyme]

Thanks! I made this and they turned out great.

[@backtoearthcreations]

Yay!!

[@DuckTapeFreak4Life]

So beautiful! You seriously need to make me a pair! 🌟

[@cloudifyy1921]

I am definetly making these for my d&d character!!

[@merrietulanko630]

thank you for an awesome tutorial!!

[@backtoearthcreations]

Hey, Merrie! Thanks for watching :)

[@kellywilliams529]

This is a much better design than the very labor intensive version I've been making. Mine are pretty, but they wear my hands outs and take a good while to make. I'm going to try your version later today.

[@reginakostuch3791]

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.

[@lisaschumack4612]

So pretty I love these so much, thank you for sharing with us. God bless you. Huggers.

[@AnnLeiSoCal]

Wow, this is a wonderful tutorial!! I was gonna buy them from Russia on ebay but glad I saw this. I used to make jewelry but never with wire. I like the fun project here with beautiful results. I will find a wire crown/headpc and make a matching set for my neice and one for me. Thanks, this looks fun.

[@lennescustomcreations]

These are amazing

[@aureal.9836]

beautiful, I will try to do

[@mamallamarazzledazzle8231]

Awesome! So interesting. Thanks

[@kimberlyleon2147]

Love these ❤️

[@dottiesworld979]

This is absolutely amazing ❤

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you, Dottie!

[@Cinderbloom]

Been wanting to give this kinda stuff a shot for a while now, and I have decided to give it a try but without any beads. If necessary, I can always unwind it.

[@Cinderbloom]

Might add a few feathers to the bottom, however

[@timeenuf4200]

You make the complicated appear simple. Great video. Very clear instruction. Thank you for sharing.

[@backtoearthcreations]

I'm so glad you feel this way!

[@elenavasquez6377]

Very easy to follow... thank you... beautiful..

[@leestockwell9318]

Breath taking. I am soooo exited to do this. I think I might use my fairy agate facetted beads

[@backtoearthcreations]

oooo, Lee! That sounds like its going to be so pretty!

[@ShonnaKaldwellAuthor]

I love watching your videos and stumbled across them looking for steampunk polymer clay tutorials. I have learned a lot the past two days binge watching your videos. I wish you were a lot closer. I would definitely take any class your offered.

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thanks for you kindness and for watching, Shonna! I travel quite a bit so I may be in your neck of the woods one day, there is no telling! :)

[@ericagracee]

Mine definitely doesn’t look like that. I gave up on the first one, but I’m continuing the second and even though it’s not the same you can definitely see it coming together. I hope if I practice more I can soon make them as good as these ones you have right here

[@IAMLOKXANIME]

Thank U so much! I made one with pearls and it looks good for being my first time, although I couldn’t find the correct round pliers

[@Suertsje]

Gorgeous!!

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you!

[@margaretspiers3674]

Love it! Haven't used wire for a while, but I'm keen to make some of these beauties. Have stash of beads, but of course must buy more. What a shame. Many thanks for this tut.

[@backtoearthcreations]
