 Earrings with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS 

Step 1
String the following onto one headpin:
  • One Swarovski 6mm sapphire narguerite lochrose flower
  • One Swarovski 8mm rose narguerite lochrose flower
  • One Swarovski 10mm peridot narguerite lochrose flower
  • One Swarovski 8mm rose narguerite lochrose flower
  • One Swarovski 6mm sapphire narguerite lochrose flower
Step 2
Place your round-nose pliers, horizontally, above the 6mm sapphire flower. Bend the headpin to a 90 degree angle.
Step 3
Using the flush-cutters, trim the wire to a 1/2 inch after the bend.
Step 4
Grip the tip of the wire with the pliers, about 1/2 inch down the barrel. Rotate your wrist away from you to form a simple loop.
Step 5
Using chain-nose pliers, open the loop on the bottom of the earwire. Slip on the simple loop and close the loop on the earwire to secure the beaded dangle.
Step 6
Repeat Steps 1 - 5 to create a second earring.
