Instructions

By following the instructions below, you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.
  1. Begin by sliding your glass bead followed by your astronaut bead, onto your ball head pin.
  2. Once your beads are on, create a simple wire loop using your pliers. Snip off any excess wire using your flush cutters.
  3. Then open up the loop in your earring hook (like you would a jump ring) and slide on your wire loop. Close the loop.
  4. Your earring is done!
