How To Make Beaded Football Team Hoop Earrings
It is fun and easy to make DIY football hoop earrings, so you can wear the beaded ear hoops as you cheer for your favorite sports team.
The team spirit beaded hoops can be customized with the colors that represent your team, whether it’s a professional, school or youth league team.
Make a single pair for yourself, make earrings for all your friends or coordinate a fun jewelry making activity with a group.
Sports Ball Beads
Football shaped beads look great and are easy to use, just like any other bead.
There are beads just like mine and others that have a slightly different color or style.
Make sure you chose football beads with holes going side to side instead of end to end, so they will fit and hang nicely on the hoops.
If you are just into football, you can get a whole pack of beads that are all footballs.
Or you can also get a mixed package of beads that includes other sports balls, as well.
Colorful Polymer Clay Heishi Beads
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.
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 to match the team colors of your favorite team for the DIY football hoop earrings.
Hoop Earrings for Jewelry Making
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.
For this pair of sports 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.
If you want to use smaller hoops, make sure the hoops are still big enough for the larger football shaped bead.
