By following the instructions below, you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.
  1. Place a dab of E6000 glue onto the back of a hummingbird cameo and press it into place in an antique silver plated bezel pendant. Allow the glue to set for about twenty minutes before continuing.
  2. Clip the tip (head end) off of an antique silver plated head pin. Create a simple wire loop at one end to create an eye pin.
  3. Place a cyclamen opal bicone bead onto the eye pin. Create a simple wire loop after the loop. Rotate your two loops on the link so that they are perpendicular to each other.
  4. Open one of the loops on your bicone link that you created and place the bezel pendant onto the loop; close the loop.
  5. Open the other loop on your bicone link and connect it to an antique silver plated earring hook; close the loop.
  6. Allow the glue to dry thoroughly before wearing.
