How to Make Earrings

These are the tools you need to make a set of earrings.
2 head pins
2 jump rings
2 earring post
2 sets of patterns of beads of your choice ( I used tigereye and crystals)
round nose pliers
needle nose pliers
cutters

Place beads in head pin with a pattern of your choice.


Bend head pin at a 90 degree angle with needle nose pliers at the top of the top bead.


         Cut head pin 3/4 inches away from bend with cutters.

                            
                        This is what they should look like.

 With round nose pliers holding as close to the end of pin, twist to make a loop. This will take some practice.

  
                           This is what it should look like.

Open jump ring and place in hoop of earring, then close jump ring with needle nose pliers.

                                         
                            This is what it should look like.

Open bottom hoop in the earring post and place jump ring in post, then close with needle nose pliers.
                                   

                         This is what it should look like.

This is your final product!!!  This is so fun and now you can wear them or give as a gift, or sell them on Etsy.
