By following the instructions below, you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.
- Begin by cutting 2 inches of your chain using your flush cutters. This cable chain has a silver ball detail, so be sure to cut the wire leaving one silver ball and a larger link on either end. You may need to remove a few links leaving your chain at a little under 2 inches when you're done. Set your chain aside.
- Take your headpin and string in order: 1 SWAROVSKI crystal silver night bicone, 1 SWAROVSKI light turquoise bicone, 1 shuttle bead, 1 SWAROVSKI light turquoise bicone, and another crystal silver night bicone.
- Once all your beads are on your head pin, take your round nose pliers and make a simple wire loop. Snip off any excess using your flush cutters.
- Open your loop (the same way you would open a jump ring), slide on the last link of your cut chain piece and close your loop back up.
- Next, open up the loop on your earring hook (like you would a jump ring) and slide on the last link from other end of your chain.
- Close the loop with your chain nose pliers. Your earring is now ready!
