Instructions:
Remember to double these instructions to create your matched pair of earrings
- Watch the instructional video: How to Make a Beaded Bead Using Twin Beads. Follow the instructions to create a twin bead beaded bead using jet/dark teal pearl twin beads and .008" black wildfire thread.
-
String a 1.5", 22 gauge sterling silver head pin with a 4 mm Swarovski crystal bicone bead, then with your beaded bead, and then with another bicone bead. Use a pair of wire looping pliers to create a simple wire loop after the second bicone bead.

-
Use a 3 mm, 22 gauge sterling silver jump ring to attach one end of the chain to the wire loop on your head pin. Then use a second jump ring to attach the other end of the chain to a sterling silver shepheard's crook square wire earring hook.
