2. Next take one headpin and turn it into an eye pin as seen in our video: Quick Tip: How to Convert a Headpin into an Eye Pin.
3. On to the eye pin, string one bicone, one wood bead and one bicone. Make a simple wire loop.
4. Finally, assemble the earring by opening the bottom loop of eye pin with the wood bead on it, same as you would a jump ring, and attach it to the sea glass pendant. Open the top loop of the eye pin and attach it to the earring post in the same manner.
