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.

The only technique needed for this project is the opening and closing of jump rings.
  1. Begin by opening a jump ring and sliding on your heart pendant. Close the jump ring.
  2. Open a second jump ring and slide 8 seed beads onto it. For help with this step, see the video Quick Tip: How to Add Seed Beads to Jump Rings. Also slip on the jump ring/heart pendant combo. It can slide over the seed beads and you can position it so that there are 4 seed beads on either side of the jump ring connected to the heart pendant. Close the jump ring.
  3. Open the loop at the base of your earring hook. Hold the dangle with seed beads/hearts that you just made so that there is a little gap at the top showing just the plain jump ring. It's at this point that you will slip on the loop at the base of your earring hook. Slip it on and close the loop.
  4. Now make your second earring to match. All done!

Those seed beads are IMPOSSIBLE!

It is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE for me (or my adult daughter, whom I asked for help!) to get those eight seed beads onto the jump ring!!!

Beads I ordered did not fit

I spent 1/2 hour trying to fit the #8 seed beads on the gold jump ring. None of them fit. I was very disappointed because I ordered enough supplies to make 7 sets of earrings for family members :(
