Homemade Jewelery

Hay all,
I recently got very interested in the idea of making homemade jewelery
so I started today, and while it didn't turn out how I wanted, I'm just going
to keep at it anyway.

 I went to an arts&crafts shop and got beads, earring stud and backs, a jewelry cutting pliers and
craft wire, which I'll be honest is very hard to use. don't get me wrong,
bending and shaping it is easy but once you get a shape (Spiral) etc, its
difficult to keep it when straightening out the rest of the wire.

I read online that its sometimes easier to work with Paper clips, so i might
try that next.

The spiral earring on the right didn't turn out,
and I still have to make the other one
