Easy Avocado Hoop Earrings Craft

How to Make Beaded Avocado Hoop Earrings

Show off your love of delicious avocados, when you make this quick and easy beaded avocado hoop earrings craft.

The bead earrings really are easy to make, so this is a great DIY jewelry project for a beginner.

No tools or special skills are needed to make the jewelry with hoops and polymer beads.

I had fun making my earrings and they always get comments.

It’s fun to be able to say that I made them myself!

Polymer Clay Avocado Beads

Fruit shaped beads made from polymer clay look great and are also easy to use.

There are packages of beads that are all avocados and there are packages of mixed fruit that include avocados.

Buy whichever ones you will want to use.

These are sturdy beads that will wear well and retain their bold colors, but they aren’t too heavy.

This makes them a good choice for earrings.

Holes are already drilled in the avocado beads going side to side, so they are ready to use.

You’ll be able to slip the avocados right on the hoops.

Colorful Polymer Clay Heishi Beads

Small, flat heishi beads look great for homemade jewelry, so I have a big supply in assorted colors in my craft stash.

Traditional heishi (pronounced hee-shee) beads are formed from a clay made from ground up shell or stone powder.

Today the term is used for a variety of flat disc shaped beads.

The most common type of heishi beads used for DIY jewelry crafts are made from polymer clay and come in a wide variety of colors.

These beads are lightweight, so they are a good choice for making jewelry that is comfortable to wear.

They can be purchased as strands of beads, packages of loose beads and boxed jewelry making kits with beads organized by color.

Typical size of the beads is 6mm wide by 1mm thick with a hole that is 2mm in diameter.

Beads are readily available, so you can get colors just like the ones I used or in some other fun color combination.

Hoop Earrings for Jewelry Making

Cute hoops are fun to wear and easy to work with, when you are making handmade jewelry.

Earring beading hoops are readily available in a variety of sizes and finishes at very reasonable prices.

You can get a package that includes all the same size and shape hoops or an assorted multipack that you can use to make a lot of fun hoop earrings.

A pack of hoops for making many pair of earrings is often less expensive than a single pair of fashion earrings at a discount store.

For this pair of beaded avocado earrings I used round 1.2″ silver tone hoops, since that is a good size for me and many others – not too big and not too small.

You are welcome to use whatever size works for you.

If you are using bigger hoops, you may want to add more heishi beads than I did for the 1.2″ hoops.

Polymer clay beads are light, but if you are adding more than I did on a larger hoop make sure the earrings will still be comfortable for you.

If you want to use smaller hoops, make sure the hoops are still big enough to accommodate the cute polymer avocado.
