Retired - Beach Wedding Earrings

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. Take 1 head pin and string 1 Austrian crystal crystal pearl. Using pliers, make a simple wire loop and cut off the excess wire with flush cutters.
2. Take 1 eye pin and open the loop the same way you would open a jump ring. Slide on the loop of the head pin with the pearl from the previous step. Close the loop of the eye pin.
3. String 1 sea glass seashell bead onto the eye pin, with the broad end facing up, as shown in the photo. Make a simple wire loop at the top and cut off the excess wire with flush cutters.
4. Open the back of one silver leverback earring finding. Slide the wire loop from the previous step onto the earring hook so it rests in the open loop at the bottom of the finding.
5. Enjoy your earrings!
