Retired - Do They Know It's Christmas? Earrings

Take two of the filigree leaf bead caps and flatten them a little by placing them tips down on a table and pressing down in the middle. Do not flatten them entirely, just reduce the degree of curvature a bit so that they will curve flush around the glass beads. You can test them against the beads to insure you get the correct fit.Take one headpin and place on it, from the bottom up, one filigree bead cap, curved upwards like a bowl, one blown glass bead, another filigree bead cap, facing downwards like a hat, one small flower bead cap facing downwards.Create a wrapped loop in the headpin, snugly above your bead assembly. The loop should be no more than 4mm in diameter. Make sure the loop on your second earring is the same size, so that the earrings match.Open a jump ring using the correct method and pass it through the wrapped loop and the bottom loop of an earwire. Close the jump ring gently. Repeat steps 2-5 to make your second earring.Try using other colors of our 20mm hand blown beads, with different beadcaps. Vintaj� brass findings look great with many of these beads, and impart a vintage look.
