Directions:
Step 1. Onto a Head Pin, place a Vintage Rose Crystal and a Heart Scroll Bead.
Step 2. Using Flat Nose Pliers, bend the piece of wire 90°. Using a wire cutter cut off the excess Head Pin leaving approximately 3/16". Carefully bend the 3/16" piece of wire into a loop, using Round Nose Pliers, but do not close the loop tightly.
Step 3. Onto an Eye Pin, place an Indian Pink Crystal, a Gemstone Chip, and a Vintage Rose Crystal.
Step 4. Repeat Step 2 with this Eye Pin, closing the loop tightly. Insert the closed loop of this Eye Pin into the open loop of the Head Pin. Close the loop of the Head Pin tightly, so there are no gaps.
Step 5. Onto an Eye Pin, place a Vintage Rose Crystal, a Gemstone Chip, and an Indian Pink Crystal.
Step 6. Repeat Step 2 with this Eye Pin.
Step 7. Insert the open loop of this Eye Pin into the top, opposite loop of your other beaded Eye Pin. Close the loop tightly so there are no gaps.
Step 8. Twist open the top loop of the last Eye Pin that you beaded (the one that you just attached) and insert the loop of a Post. Twist the loop closed tightly.
Step 9. Repeat for the second earring.
