  2. Attach one drop to one end of the "chain" by opening one jump ring and closing it around the final link.
  3. In this same manner, moving up the chain, attach two drops to the sides of jump ring number 2. Repeat on jump rings 4, 6, and 8.
  4. To the final jump ring, attach the earring hook, same way you would a jump ring.
  5. All done!
