Sunflowers of Fall Earrings
I really love our new sunflower and violet charms and thought they would be perfect for fall.  I dangled hyacinth fire polished crystals over the sunflowers and emerald fire polished crystals over the violet leaves.  The leaves are suspended from a hidden piece of chain.  -Carolyn, owner eebeads.com

Directions:
Step 1. Onto each of four Head Pins, thread one Hyacinth Crystal. Form a simple loop above each Crystal by bending the Head Pin 90 degrees with Flat Nose Pliers and trimming the excess with Side Cutters to leave 3/8 inch behind. Curl into a tight loop with Round Nose Pliers. Set aside. Repeat with four more Head Pins using Emerald Crystals. Set aside.

Step 2. Twist open a Jump Ring and slide it through the loop on an Ear Wire. Before twisting the Jump Ring closed, slide on the four Hyacinth Crystal Head Pins.

Step 3. Twist open another Jump Ring and slide it through the Jump Ring from step 2 and then through the loop on the Sunflower Charm. Do not close the Jump Ring.

Step 4. Cut a piece of Chain measuring approximately ¾ inches in length. Slide one end through the Jump Ring from step 3 and twist the Jump Ring closed.

Step 5. Onto the bottom link of the Chain, attach one Jump Ring with all four Emerald Crystal Head Pins. Twist the Jump Ring closed.

Step 6. Twist open a Jump Ring and slide it through the Jump Ring from above and through the loop on the Leaf Charm. Twist the Jump Ring closed.

Step 7. Repeat steps 1-6 to complete the other earring. Enjoy!
