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 this earring by placing 1 bicone, 1 sterling silver rondelle, and 1 bicone onto a head pin. Create a wrapped wire loop after the last bead.
  2. Next, take a head pin and place onto it: 1 bicone, 1 sterling silver rondelle, 1 crystal fine rocks tube bead, another sterling silver rondelle, and finally one more bicone bead. Create a simple wire loop after the last bead.
  3. Open the simple wire loop you just made and link onto it the wrapped wire loop from the dangle you made in step 1. Close the simple wire loop back up (just like a jump ring).
  4. Open the simple wire loop on the other side and link onto it the loop at the base of the earring hook. Close the loop.
  5. All done, enjoy!
