By following the instructions below, you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Open one of the loops on your bicone link that you created and place the bezel pendant onto the loop; close the loop.
- Open the other loop on your bicone link and connect it to an antique silver plated earring hook; close the loop.
- Allow the glue to dry thoroughly before wearing.
