These earrings are very easy to make, even for beginners!
- Place one bead onto a head pin and create a simple wire loop after the bead. Trim excess wire. Repeat with your other 5 beads and head pins.
- To connect your bead dangles to your lotus connectors, simply open and close the loops you made in the previous step, the same way you open and close jump rings.
- Connect the bead dangles in the following order to both your connectors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.
- Open the loop at the base of the earring hook and connect it to the top loop of the lotus connector. Close the loops. Repeat with your other earring hook and connector. Have fun wearing these!
