instructions

1. Earrings - 1. These have been made in exactly the same way as the central pendant on the multi-beaded necklace, which will be featured on My Craft Weekly next month. Thread the beads onto a headpin, bend the wire to form a right-angle above the top bead and trim to 1cm with the wire cutters.
   
   2. Holding the end of the wire between the tips of a pair of round-nosed pliers, turn your wrist to create a circular loop. Join the dropper to the earwire by using two pairs of round-nosed pliers to gently twist open the loop (don’t pull the ends apart as this will make it impossible to re-form). Thread through the earwire and carefully close together.
   

2. Make it yours - If you haven’t worked with headpins before, spend a little time perfecting the technique of bending the wire and forming the circular loops.
