Retired - Red Velvet Earrings

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.

1. Use the Vintaj relief block to gently sand the top surface of your connector and drop. This will bring out the details by exposing the shiny brass beneath the darker coating.
2. Onto an eye pin place 1 red bead. Create a simple wire loop after the bead and trim off excess wire with flush cutters.
3. Open the loop at the base of the bead (the same way you would open a jump ring) and link onto it the Vintaj drop pendant. Close the loop.
4. Open the loop on the other side of the bead and link onto it the Vintaj connector filigree. Close the loop.
5. Open the loop at the base of your earring hook and connect it to the top of the connector filigree. Close the loop.
6. Wear and enjoy!
