- Remember to double the instructions to make both earrings! Cut two pieces of thread at four inches long each.
- Thread the ends of both pieces of thread through a closed jump ring. Gather all four strands together, so the the jump ring is enclosed in the center.
- Thread all four strands of the Power Pro through a crimp bead and crimp it down.
- Trim one of the four strands off, so that there are now only three threads hanging from the jump ring.
- On one of the strands, thread ten mixed seed beads, a hematite fire polish bead, a coffee bean bead, another seed bead, and finally a crimp bead, crimped.
- On another strand, thread the same, except instead of ten seed beads, use twelve.
- On the final strand, do the same as the first two, except this time thread fourteen seed beads.
- Trim off all excess thread. To make sure the beads are securely on the thread, you may want to put a tiny dab of E6000 glue on the very end of each crimp bead.
- To finish the earring, gently open the loop on the earring hook the way you would open a jump ring and thread it through the closed jump ring containing your three beaded threads. Gently close the loop once again.
