Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

By following the instructions below, you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.
  1. Begin by watching the video on How to Use the Vintaj Relief Block.
  2. Following what you learned in the video, use the side of your Vintaj relief block to sand the raised areas of your Vintaj bohemian drop pendant stamping to show off the detail.
  3. Next, using your Europunch tool, carefully punch 7 holes at the bottom portion of your Vintaj drop pendant. If you would like, you can use a pen to mark the points before you punch. Begin at the bottom center of your stamping, carefully punch a hole. Then add 3 hole punches on either side of the middle punch, making sure all the holes are even. Refer to the photo for placement assistance.
  4. Next, open up a jump ring and slide it through the first hole you punched and close. Open and slide on another jump ring onto the first jump ring. Onto that second jump ring, also slide on a Hematite dagger bead and close.
  5. Repeat the process of adding on dagger beads using jump rings, and add on 6 more bead dangles.
  6. Lastly, open up a kidney wire earring hook and slide it through the loop at the top of your Vintaj drop pendant.
  7. You're done!
