These elegant earrings are easy to make and go great with pretty much anything. With pretty beads available in a range of different colours, materials and sizes, the possibilities are endless. Go nuts!
Thread the beads onto the wire pins in your desired order. Then use the pliers to twist a little loop at the top of the beads and cut off the excess.
Attatch the beads to to hooks using the jump rings. This step is optional depending on the length you want.
