Instructions:

Please watch our instructional video on how to make these fun earrings.

To complete the earrings, open a jump ring and thread it through one of the corner beads and through the loop at the bottom of your earring hook. Close the jump ring once more.

Repeat to make 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.
