Step-by-Step Tutorial to Make One Earring:
Step 1: Slide 1 A onto a headpin I. Cut at 1cm measure from bead.
Step 2: Grasp at end wire with the tip of round nose pliers.
Step 3: Bend at right angle.
Step 4: Reposition your pliers as illustrated in the picture above (take note of green and red indication).
Step 5: Grasp the wire firmly and continue rotate your wrist and a loop is formed.
Step 6: Continue until the loop touches the bead.
Close up of a loop that is more secure than a simple loop (I don’t know what is the name of this loop) yet very easy to make as compare to a wrap loop.
Step 7: Repeat step 1-6 for 2A, another 1B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 1F & 1G.
Step 8: Attach 1H onto headpin I.Cut at approx. 13mm measure from the pearl.
Step 9: Make a loop similar as step 2-6. Leave a gap of ~3mm between the loop and pearl as illustrated in the picture above.
Step 10: Cut 2 pcs of chain M, 5.5cm and 4.5cm respectively.
Step 11: Attach jumprings L onto both chains.
Step 12: Start your beadwork as shown in the picture above.
Step 13: Open the jumpring K and insert all the materials as listed in previous step into it. Close the jumpring K.
Repeat step 1-13 for another earring. You are done!
