Step 1

Using flat-nose pliers carefully turn the loop and tip of a 26x23mm silver-plated filigree teardrop drop 90 degrees. Repeat to turn the loop and tip of a second 26x23mm silver-plated filigree teardrop drop.

Note: make sure to manipulate the wings so the back of the one-sided teardrops face the same direction.

Step 2

String on to one 3-inch silver-plated headpin, one 30x20mm crazy lace agate teardrop bead and one 11mm long silver-plated filigree bead cap. Gently form the bead cap around the top of the teardrop bead.

Step 3

Continue to string component on to the 3-inch silver-plated headpin in the following order:

Two 26x23mm silver-plated filigree teardrop drops formed in Step 1 (wings)
One 12mm white round glass pearl
One 10mm silver-colored flower bead cap (dome side down)
One 4mm crazy lace agate round bead

Step 4

Using round-nose pliers, flat-nose pliers and flush-cutters form a wrapped loop on the straight end of the wire.
