By following the instructions below you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.
- Begin by cutting the chain into two lengths: one 17 links, one 27 links.
- Take one eye pin and string on one wood bead. Make a simple wire loop facing perpendicular to the opposite loop. Open the loop same as you would a jump ring and attach it to the top loop of the Zola Elements finding. Close the loop.
- Open the loop of the earring hook, same as you would a jump ring, and attach it to the top loop of the eye pin. Close the loop.
- Open one jump ring and attach it to one side loop of the Zola Elements finding and to one piece of chain that is 17 links long. Close the jump ring.
- Move to the end of this chain and attach the other end to the other loop of the Zola Elements finding with a jump ring.
- Repeat this process with the length of chain that is 27 links long. Make sure the jump rings for this length go on the outside of the other jump rings you already attached.
