These earrings are great because you can make them as long or as short as you like. Just check the supply list to order the correct amount for the length you want. Also, note the orientation of the leaf connectors when making this earring.
- Place a 10mm pearl onto a head pin followed by an acorn bead cap. Create a simple wire loop after the bead cap and trim off excess wire. Set aside.
- Place a 4mm pearl onto an eye pin and create a simple wire loop after the pearl. Trim excess wire. Create two of these. Set aside.
- Referring to the photo, link together the following items (starting from the bottom of the earring going upwards, connecting with their loops that you will open and close just like jump rings): pearl with acorn bead cap, leaf connector, 4mm pearl section, leaf connector, 4mm pearl section, leaf connector. Now open the loop at the base of your earring hook, the same way you would open a jump ring, and connect it to the last leaf connector that you attached. Close the loop back up.
- Please repeat steps 1 - 3 to make your second earring. Enjoy!
