- Repeat on the small hexagon by weaving 4 seed beads on to each side.
- Open one jump ring and attach one hexagon to the other (see photo for reference).
- Finally, open the loop of the earring hook, same as you would a jump ring, and attach it to the top of the small hexagon and close the jump ring.
