- These instructions make one earring. Repeat all steps to make the second earring.
- Begin by taking one headpin, and string on one pearl.
- String on the angel wings.
- String on the Austrian crystal arrow bead.
- Create a simple wire loop at the bottom of the arrow bead, as close to the actual bead as you can.
- Take one foot of chain and break it down into six 2 inch pieces. It's okay if the lengths are a little off. The different sizes will create a cool cascading look.
- You have six lengths, but you'll end up only using five.
- Open up the wire loop you created- and begin stringing on all the chain lengths. After, close the wire loop.
- Take the earring post and place a little bit of E6000 onto its back. Press it down firmly onto the center of the angel wings. This will be the back of your earring.
- Let it dry for at least 30 minutes. Now, you can add the backing.
- You're all done!
