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.

1. Begin by looking through your seed bead mix and pick out two of the lighter red seed beads.
2. Take a head pin and slide on one red seed bead, followed by your Gingerbread Man ceramic bead and then another red seed bead.
3. Once your beads are on, create a simple wire loop using your round nose pliers. Cut off any excess wire with your flush cutters.
4. Open the loop on your earring hook (the same way you would a jump ring) and slide on the loop from your simple wire loop. Close the loop with your pliers.
5. Your earring is ready.
