Step 4. Repeat Step 2 with this Head Pin, but do not close the loop tightly.

Step 7. Repeat Step 2, but do not close the loop tightly.
Step 8. Insert the open loop from this Head Pin and one of the loops from Eye Pin #2 into the empty (top) loop from Eye Pin #1. Close the loop of the Head Pin tightly so there are no gaps.

Step 10. Repeat Step 2 with this Head Pin, but do not close the loop tightly.
Step 11. Insert the open loop of this Head Pin into the top loop of Eye Pin #2. Close the loop of the Head Pin tightly.
Step 12. Twist open a Jump Ring and insert the top loop of Eye Pin #2 and the loop of an Ear Wire. Twist the Jump Ring closed.
