Curl into a tight loop with Round Nose Pliers. Slide one end through the loop on the Filigree. Twist open a Jump Ring and slide through the other end and then through the bottom loop on the Ear Wire.
Step 2. Onto two separate Head Pins, thread one 6mm Crystal. Form a simple loop above the Crystal and attach on the bottom outer loops of the Filigree.
Step 3. Thread one 8mm Crystal, one Bead Cap and one 6mm Crystal onto a Head Pin. Form a simple loop above the Crystal and attach to the bottom center loop of the Filigree.
Step 4. Repeat step 1-3 to complete the other earring. Enjoy! |
