Instructions
Step 1
String onto an eye pin a 3mm bicone. Place the bead frame on the end of the eye pin and carefully position a 3mm bicone so that the eye pin will pass through the first hole of the bead frame and the bicone.
Repeat this process to attach beads and the bead frame to the eye pin in the appropriate pattern, as seen in the image above.
Step 2
Create a wrapped loop.
Step 3
Attach the original end of the eye pin and a drop to a jump ring.
Step 4
Attach an earnut to an earstud. Attach the earstud to the wrapped loop using a jump ring.
Repeat to create a second earring.
