Step 3:  Open a loop of 1 Orange Drop and place on the bottom loop of the eye pin (at the bottom of the Butterfly Bead).  Open a jump ring and insert one Orange Drop and loop onto the bottom loop of the eye pin.  For the third drop, use two jump rings before looping onto the bottom loop of the eye pin.

Step 4:   Repeat for the second earring and enjoy!
