Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

By following the instructions below, you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.

To make this earring, please watch the video: How to Use Bead Frames to Make the Pompidou Earrings. In the course of the video you will learn how to trap your beads inside a bead frame and how to secure the end with a simple wire loop. You will also learn how to attach your classic cut pendant below the bead frame.
Open the loop on your earring hook (the same way you would open a jump ring) and slide on the simple wire loop at the top of the bead frame. Close the loop back up.
All done, enjoy!
