Directions for the Necklace:  
Step 1.  To make the Drops, take 10 Head Pins and straighten them if necessary.  On each Head Pin place one 6mm Crystal, 1 Round, one 4mm Crystal, 1 Round, one 4mm Crystal, and 1 Round. For each Head Pin, using a Wire Cutter, cut off the excess Head Pin, leaving approximately 3/16". Using Flat Nose Pliers, bend the 3/16" piece of wire 90°. Using the Round Nose Pliers, carefully bend the 3/16" piece of wire into a loop and close it tightly.  Set aside.

Step 2.  Take 9 Eye Pins and straighten them if necessary.  On each Eye Pin place one 4mm Crystal, 1 Round, one 6mm Crystal, 1 Round and one 4mm Crystal. For each Eye Pin, using a Wire Cutter cut off the excess Eye Pin, leaving approximately 3/16". Using Flat Nose Pliers, bend the 3/16" piece of wire 90°. Using the Round Nose Pliers, carefully bend the 3/16" piece of wire into a loop and close it tightly.  Set aside.

Step 3.  Twist open a Jump Ring and place it through the loop of one side of the Clasp and through the loop of one of the Eye Pin drops.  Twist closed.

Step 4.  Twist open a Jump Ring and place it through the loop on the other side of the Eye Pin drop and through the loop on the corner of the Chandelier finding..  Twist closed.

Step 5.  Twist open a Jump Ring and place it through the opposite corner of the Chandelier finding and the loop of another Eye Pin drop.  Twist closed.

Step 6.  Repeat Steps 4 and 5 until you have connected 7 Chandelier findings to the Eye Pin drops.

Step 7.  Repeat Step 5 for the eighth Chandelier finding.

Step 8.  Repeat Step 3 using the other side of the Clasp.

Attaching the Head Pin Drops:
Twist open 4 Jump Ring and place each through the lower corner of the 4 center Chandelier findings and the loop of each of 4 Head Pin drops, so that you have attached one drop to each of the 4 center Chandelier findings.  Twist closed tightly.

Directions for the Earrings: 
Step 1.  Place a Chandelier finding so that it resembles a diamond (as in necklace).

Step 2.  Twist open a Jump Ring and place through the bottom loop of the Chandelier finding and the loop of one of the Head Pin drops.  Twist closed.

Step 3.  Repeat Step 2 for each side of the Chandelier finding.

Step 4. On an Eye Pin place a Round, a 4mm Crystal and a Round. Using a Wire Cutter, cut off the excess Eye Pin, leaving approximately 3/16". Using Flat Nose Pliers, bend the 3/16" piece of wire 90°. Using the Round Nose Pliers, carefully bend the 3/16" piece of wire into a loop but don't close it tightly.  Place the loop of the Eye Pin through the loop at the top of the Chandelier finding and twist closed tightly.

Step 5.  Twist open the loop of the Ear Wire and place the other loop of the Eye Pin into it and twist closed tightly.

Repeat Steps 1-5 for second Earring. Enjoy!
