instructions

1. Drop Earrings - 1. Thread your chosen selection of pearls and crystals onto a long silver head pin. Bend the wire above the top bead with round-nosed pliers to form a right angle and trim to 1cm. Holding the end between the tips of round-nosed pliers, turn to create a circular loop.
   
   2. Join the dropper to an earwire by using two pairs of pliers to gently twist open the curl and hook it on. Then carefully close the two ends back together by reversing the twisting action. Repeat to make a pair.
