Step 4. To the right of the Heart Bead, string the same beads in the same pattern as you did in Step 3.
Step 5. Bring the beaded Soft Flex into a loop, crossing the ends of the strand at the top, and string another Heart Bead onto the strand, pulling the ends of the Soft Flex through the hole of the Heart Bead in the opposite directions (opposite the way the way they were going in the earlier Steps).
Step 6. To the left of this Heart Bead, string the following:
4 Clear Crystals
1 Silver Round
4 Clear Crystals
Step 7. To the right of the Heart Bead, string the same beads in the same pattern as you did in Step 6.
Step 8. Repeat Step 5. (Note: with each loop, you will want to pull your Soft Flex tightly, so there are no spaces. The loops will get smaller as you continue up the earring)

Step 13. Repeat Step 12 to the right of the Heart Bead.
Step 14. Bring the ends of the Soft Flex together, stringing 1 Silver Round through both ends in making your final and smallest loop. Pull tightly. Crush the Silver Round using Crimping Pliers.
Step 15. Twist open the loop of an Ear Wire and insert the top of your smallest beaded loop (where you just crimped your Silver Round). Twist the loop of the Ear Wire closed.
Step 16. Repeat the above Steps for the second earring.
