1. Slide a red ruby glass tear drop bead onto a gold plated head pin and create a wrapped wire loop with your round nose pliers. Snip off any excess wire with your flush cutters.
2. Next, with your chain nose pliers, open the loop at the bottom of your gold plated earring hook (how you would a jump ring) and slide it onto your wrapped wire loop and close.
3. That's it!
