Eyeglass hoop

A friend of mine wears a necklace with a circle pendant and hooks her glasses through the hole. She was looking for something different. I thought this would fill the bill. It's made it out of rebar wire and pearls. Kind of like wearing diamonds with overalls. Too cool!

Materials:

rebar wire (HD, hardware store)

24 gauge wire 

small (fake) pearls

Tools:

large diameter dowel or broom handle

small needle nose pliers

wire cutters

Wrap the rebar wire around the dowel. Start at one side, wrap around once. Continue wrapping about 3/4 of the circle. Form a loop with the needle nose pliers. Continue wrapping until you reach the beginning. Cut the wire so that the two ends match up but don't overlap. You should have only 2 wires at all times, not three.

Cut a length of 24 gauge wire about 6 feet long. Thread on 25 pearls. Form a loop at the end so that the pearls won't slide off. Wrap the wire twice around the rebar wire loop. Place a pearl on the outside of the loop at the next wrap. Wrap twice; wrap with a pearl. Continue until you have finished. The 24 gauge wire will kink especially at the beginning when it is long, so go slowly. Straighten out the kinks with the pliers. The kinks won't show when you wrap but they may make it difficult to thread the pearls.
Attach this to a cord or chain. Wear as is, or hook the earpiece of your glasses through the hole. You'll never lose them again.
