These earrings have great movement as you wear them.
- Place onto an eye pin: 1 red bicone, 1 orange bicone, 1 yellow bicone. Create a simple wire loop after the last bead and trim excess wire. Place onto a second eye pin: 1 green bicone, 1 blue bicone, 1 purple bicone. Create a simple wire loop after the last bead and trim excess wire. Set these aside.
- Place onto a head pin 1 red round bead. Create a simple wire loop and trim excess wire. Repeat with your other rainbow colored beads and head pins. Set aside.
- To construct this earring, please look at the photo. Starting at the top, open a jump ring and link onto it your earring hook via its loop and your two bicone/eye pin segments. Close the jump ring.
- Position the large lotus connector so that the petals are facing down and link the twp bicone/eye pin segments to the top outer petals (please look at the photo). You can open and close the loops just like jump rings.
- Open a jump ring and connect it to one of the large side petals of the large lotus connector. Also link onto it another jump ring. Close the jump ring. Open another jump ring and connect it to the one that was just attached. Close the jump ring. Open a third jump ring and connect it to the one previously attached as well as one of the small lotus connectors via its loop. Close the jump ring.
- Hang from the three lotus petals the following dangles: red, orange, yellow.
- Repeat the previous two steps but this time add these colors of dangles: green, blue, purple. Have fun wearing these!
