Instructions

  1. Take a gold ball head pin and thread onto it 1 oval pearl and 1 Austrian crystal 4mm crystal bicone bead. Create a simple wire loop and cut off excess wire with your flush cutters. Open the simple wire loop the same way you would open a jump ring and attach it to one of the hidden loops behind the leaves on your boxwood branch. Close the loop back up. Repeat this step twice, making 2 more dangles and attaching them to the other two loops behind the leaves.
  2. Open the loop at the bottom of your earring hook the same way you would open a jump ring and attach it to the loop at the end of the smaller of the two boxwood branches. Close the earring loop back up.
  3. Repeat the two above steps to make your matched earring set.
  4. Many happy wishes to you while wearing these beautiful earrings.
