By following the instructions below, you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.
- With your flush cutters, cut two lengths of chain that each measure 11 links long.
- With your chain nose pliers, open the loop on your earring hook and slide on the last link from one end of one length of chain. Close the loop back up. Set aside.
- Next, using your flush cutters, snip off the head of a headpin and create a simple wire loop with your round nose pliers. Snip off any excess wire with your flush cutters.
- Slide on your sea glass starfish bead and then create another simple wire loop. Make sure to make this loop as close to the back center of the starfish bead as you can. Snip off any excess wire with your flush cutters.
- Open the simple wire loop at the top of the starfish bead (how you would a jump ring) and slide on the last link from the other end of that same length of chain. Close the loop back up.
- Next, open the simple wire loop that is on the bottom portion of your starfish bead, (again, like how you would a jump ring) and slide on the last link from one side of your second length of chain and close.
- Then slide onto a headpin: 1 seed bead, 1 beadelle pave bead and another seed bead. Create a simple wire loop with your round nose pliers, and snip off any excess wire.
- Open the simple wire loop (again, how you would a jump ring) and slide on the last link from the other side of the length of chain that is attached to the bottom of your starfish bead. Close the loop with your pliers. Refer to the photo for assistance.
- You're done!
