Instructions
Cut two 1/4-inch squares of black anodized aluminum sequin sheet.
Open the loop on two 3-inch 21-gauge gold-plated eye pins. Thread each eye pin through the center of one sequin square. Close the loop securely to capture the sequin sheet, allowing it to drape naturally.
On each eye pin, string the following beads in order:
- (1) 8x4mm black rhinestone squaredelle bead
- (1) 11-12mm kelly green Taiwanese cheesewood round bead
- (1) antique gold-plated witch's hat cone
Using round-nose pliers, create a wrapped loop above each cone. Trim any excess wire and ensure the wraps are neat and consistent.
Attach one pumpkin charm to the front of each sequin “skirt” using a 4mm 20-gauge gold-plated round jump ring, positioning it so it hangs centered.
Attach each completed dangle to a 17mm gold-plated earring hoop using a 4mm 20-gauge gold-plated round jump ring.
