Instructions

By following the instructions below you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.
  1. Cut a 1 inch piece of silver chain.
  2. Open a jump ring and slide it through the hole of one 8mm Austrian crystal crystal round pendant. Also slide on the last link of the piece of chain. Close the jump ring.
  3. Open another jump ring and slide it through the hole of one 6mm Austrian crystal crystal round pendant. Skip one link of chain and slide it through the next link up. Close the jump ring.
  4. Repeat step 3 five more times, so you have six 6mm round pendants attached along the length of chain.
  5. Open the loop of an earring hook the same way you would open a jump ring. Slide it through the first link of chain. Close the loop.
  6. Enjoy your earrings!
