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.

1. For the earrings: begin by taking one head pin, string on one seed bead and make a wrapped wire loop. Repeat 6 more times.
2. Next, take one head pin and turn it into an eye pin by snipping off the pin head, and making a simple wire loop at one end. Then string on one seed bead and make another simple wire loop.
3. To assemble the earring, we will be working our way up the earring. Open the loop of one of the eye pins, same as you would a jump ring, and attach three dangles with the wrapped wire loops. Close this loop.
4. Take another eye pin, open the loop and slip on one wrapped wire loop dangle, then slip on the top of the eye pin from the previous step and one more dangle. Close the loop. Repeat this step one more time.
5. Open the loop of the earring hook and slip it on to the top loop of the last eye pin. Close the loop. Repeat all of the above steps to make the second earring.
6. For the necklace: begin by finding the center link of the 24 inches length of chain. Open one jump ring and attach the arrowhead focal pendant to the center link. Close the jump ring.
7. Take one head pin and string on one seed bead, make a wrapped wire loop, but before you wrap the wire, attach it to the link of chain just to the right of the link you attached the pendant too. Wrap the wire and trim any excess. Repeat five more times, moving one link to the right each time. Then repeat on the other side of the pendant.
8. Move to the end of the chain on one side. Open a jump ring and attach one lobster clasp to the end link. Close the jump ring.
9. Move to the other side of the necklace and attach one jump ring to the last link of the chain. Close the jump ring.
