Materials:

1 pkg. 2" S/P head pins (#50586) Qty: 
2 pkg. Cobalt fire polished crystals, 4mm (#16114) Qty: 
1 pkg. S/S French hook ear wires (#50008) Qty: 
1 pkg. Antique S/S flat heishi (#27503) Qty: 

Directions:
Step 1:  Start by making the shortest dangle of the wind chime. Get a head pin and string a heishi bead and a faceted crystal.  Using a wire cutter, cut off the excess head pin leaving approximately 3/16". Using a flat nose pliers, bend the 3/16" piece of wire 90°. Carefully bend the 3/16" piece of wire into a loop and hang it from one of the loops of the bead cap.

Step 2:  Make the second dangle by stringing a heishi, and a crystal, leaving a small space (about 1/8") on the head pin before making the loop. Hang this on the next loop of the bead cap.  Repeat the same process with all of the other dangles, leaving a space of an 1/8" larger than the space on the dangle before, until you complete all 6 dangles.

Step 3:  String a crystal through a head pin and put it through the bead cap (center hole), make a loop on the other side and attach it to the ear wire.  The crystal should sit right under the bead cap.

Step 4:  Repeat the process for the other earring.  Enjoy!
