By following the instructions below, you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.
  1. Begin by stringing on a dark neon purple Czech glass bead onto your head pin and create a simple wire loop with your round nose pliers. Snip off any excess wire with your flush cutters.
  2. Repeat this process 2 more times.
  3. Open up 3 jump rings and slide them each onto the 3 simple wire loops you just made. Do not close your jump rings quite yet.
  4. Next, take your chandelier earring component and through the holes on the bottom, slide on each of your open jump rings. Close the jump rings using your chain nose pliers.
  5. Then open the bottom loop of your earring hook (how you would a jump ring) and slide on your chandelier earring component.
  6. Your earring is now ready.
