Instructions

Remember to double these directions to make your matched pair of earrings.
  1. Onto a 3" silver plated ball head pin, place 1 small flower bead cap, 1 Austrian crystal crystal faux pearl in rose peach, and another small flower bead cap.
  2. After the last bead cap, create a simple wire loop. Cut off excess wire with flush cutters.
  3. Open that simple wire loop (just as you would open a jump ring) and slip the loop beneath your heart stud earring post into it. Close the loop back up.
  4. All done!
