Instructions:
The vintage miniature record charms used in this project are quite old. Be very gentle when working with them and wearing them. Don't get them wet, as the little record labels could be damaged or come off.
- Open a 2" silver plated kidney wire earring hook.
-
Slide a 23 mm vintage miniature plastic record charm along the flat side of the earring hook all the way until it rests in the little loop at the bottom.
-
Slide a 3 mm burgundy Swarovski crystal bicone bead along the same way until it rests just above the loop that the record charm hangs from. If you have difficulty sliding the bead onto the earring hook, you may need to gently bend the little bend at the back of the earring hook straight and then bend it back once you've added the bead.
-
Repeat these steps to create your second earring.

Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
