instructions

1. Earrings - Create two teacup heart-shaped resin cabochons in the same way as for the bracelet. Thread a 4mm pearl followed by a waxed cord bead and another 4mm pearl onto an eye pin, form a loop then repeat once more. Open two 5mm jump rings and thread through the loops of the teapot charms, attach the beaded head pins then secure to earwires.
