Instructions
Step 1
Cut thirty-four 3/4-inch lengths of chain.
Step 2
Use jump rings to create a 2-1-2 pattern.
Attach four light blue jump rings onto one light blue jump ring. Position the four jump rings so there are two on each side of the single jump ring.
Step 3
Continue the 2-1-2 pattern using dark pink jump rings until 9 links have been added. Add two and one light blue jump rings to the pattern.
Step 4
Pass a length of chain onto three light blue jump rings.
Pass two of the jump rings onto the end of the pattern, then close the jump rings. Repeat with the remaining jump ring to complete the 2-1-2 pattern.
Step 5
At the top of the pattern, attach a single jump ring through the right jump ring of the first row and the right jump ring of the third row.
Attach another jump ring through the right jump ring of the third and fifth row.
Continue this style to the end of the pattern, being sure to add a length of chain to the final jump rings and use the image above for reference.
Step 6
Repeat Step 5 on the left side of the pattern.
Step 7
Use a jump ring to attach a dragonfly charm to the center of the design.
Step 8
To attach the ear wire, attach two jump rings to the ear wire and the top two jump rings of the design.
Step 9
Repeat Steps 2 - 8 to create a second earring.
