Retired - Bride of Dracula 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. Remember to double the instructions to make both earrings! Cut a piece of chain two and a half inches long.
2. Attach one end of the chain to one of the points on the filigree stamping using a jump ring.
3. Thread a cathedral bead onto a headpin and make a simple loop. Trim off excess wire.
4. Gently open the loop on the headpin and thread it though the last link on the other end of the chain. Close the loop again.
5. To the other point on the filigree stamping, add a jump ring. Add another jump ring to the first.
6. Thread the last jump ring through the loop on the leverback earring hook and close the jump ring.
7. Using a toothpick, dab a tiny amount of E6000 glue on the back of your rhinestone and place it in the center of the filigree stamping. The glue will set in about six minutes, but it takes up to twenty four hours to dry fully.
