These are just closed wires. But there are some that will open that you can physically string beads on. I don't sell them, unfortunately - but they do exist!
Hi Angela! On this particular hoop, there is no way to open it to string the beads on. However, you can find open hoops that you can easily thread beads on that you finish off using a simple pair of chain nose pliers. These types of hoops thread through your ear and then lock into place once on. You can also create your own hoops out of wire, and thread your beads on that way before finishing. Unfortunately we do not sell the "openable" hoops on our website just yet. We do have them in-store if you're local. Or we can ship to you. I can send you a picture if you'd like through private message. Our store email is info@fireflycarrboro.com Hope this info helps!
I am a newbie to the jewelry making world and I greatly appreciate this tutorial.
Beading is so much fun, endless possibilities - glad this helped! Happy Beading!
These are so cute. I just had to try and they are so cute
That's great! Thanks for sharing - Happy Beading!
It’s beautiful!
Thank you!
Can you please show us how you make the hoop earing with the barrel knot? Loved the video🙂
Hi, do those hoops open at the top so you can put a bead right onto the wire? Or are those wires closed & used just to bead around the outside of? TIA

Is there ANY way to open the hoop ear ring to actually bead the hoop?- I keep bending mine so badly trying to get them a part

What do you do if you don't have 28 gauge wire but you have 26 instead
Do these hoops not open?
