By following the instructions below you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.
- Begin by using the GS Hypo Cement and the Pickup Artist tool to place the flatbacks on to the connector link. Please watch our video: How to Use the Crystal FX Pickup Artist Crystal Positioning Tool. Place them in three rows, as seen in the photo, or choose your own placement.
- Allow this to dry fully. We recommend at least an hour before working with it, but 24 to allow for maximum bond.
- Take one head pin and string on one flower bead, (please see photo for orientation) make a simple wire loop. Make sure your loop is large enough to accommodate the connector. Open the loop, same as you would a jump ring and attach it to the hole of the connector.
- Next take one eye pin and use the loop to attach the earring hook by opening the loop and closing it. String on one flower bead and make a simple wire loop. Attach this simple loop onto the top hole of the connector. Close the loop and you're all done.
