Instructions
Step 1
Use 7mm light green silicone Oh! Rings™ and bronze 5.5mm jump rings to create a 1-1 chain, beginning and ending with Oh! Rings.
Step 2
Decreasing each row by one light green Oh! Ring, use the Japanese 6-in-1 chainmaille technique to add five more rows.
Note: View the Row by Row method of the ''How to Create a Japanese 6-in-1 Chainmaille Weave'' illustrated instructions for additional details.
Step 3
Use the Japanese 6-in-1 chainmaille technique to add one glow-in-the-dark 7mm Oh! Ring to the last (shortest) row of silicone chainmaille.
Step 4
Use the same technique to add a black 7mm Oh! Ring on the side opposite the glow-in-the-dark ring, between the third and fourth green ring of the first (longest) row. Repeat to add a second black jump ring directly next to the first.
Step 5
Pass the loop of an ear wire through the glow-in-the-dark ring, then close.
Step 6
Repeat Steps 1 - 5 to create a second earring.
