Instructions

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.

Remember to double these directions to make your matched pair of earrings.
  1. Cut the head off of an antique copper head pin. Create a simple wire loop at the end that you cut the head off of.
  2. Measure and cut 3" of chain.
  3. Thread the chain through the hole in the Golem pendant. Pull the chain so that the pendant is in the middle and the chain is not twisted.
  4. Open the simple wire loop that you made in the first step and link onto it both ends of your chain from the previous steps. Close the loop.
  5. Place a Czech glass 5mm round melon bead onto the wire that is sticking up from the chains/pendant. Create a simple wire loop right after the bead. Trim off excess with flush cutters.
  6. Open the loop at the base of your earring hook. Link onto this loop the simple wire loop you made in the last step. Close the earring loop back up.
  7. All done! Enjoy your pretty new pair of earrings.
