- To the hole on the earring stud, add a 4mm jump ring.
- To the tiger striped donut bead, add two 7mm jump rings.
- Attach one of those jump rings to the 4mm jump ring on the earring stud.
- To make the briolette bail, cut a piece of the 24 gauge craft wire about 4 inches long, and insert through the hole on the briolette.
- Using chain-nose pliers, bend each side of the craft wire upward toward the middle of the briolette.
- When the wire is in the middle of the top of the briolette, bend one side of the wire so that it is pointing straight up.
- Wrap the other side of the wire twice around the bent side of the wire. Cut excess using a pair of flush cutter pliers.
- On the remaining wire, create a loop with your round nose pliers, about 1/8" from the already wrapped wire.
- After you have created a nice loop, wrap the remaining wire around itself until it meets up with the other wrapped wire. Trim excess.
- To the 7mm jump ring not containing the earring post, add your wrapped briolette bail
