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.

By following the instructions below you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.
  1. Begin by changing the jump rings on the tassels. Open one of the gold jump rings and slide it out from the tassel. Open one silver jump ring and attach the tassel onto the jump ring. Before closing the jump ring attach it to one of the bottom three loops on the earring finding. Close the jump ring. Repeat for two more tassels, attaching them to the other two bottom loops.
  2. Place a dab of glue into the well of the bezel. Place the rivoli stone into the center with the pointed end up. Allow to dry for at least 24 hours before wearing.
  3. Finally, open one earring hook, same as you did a jump ring, and attach it to the top loop of the earring finding. Close the loop and you're all done!
