You will need:
1 pair of earwires
1 pair of headpins
2 length's of chain (mine are each 2.5 inches long)
2 10mm pearls
Tools: wire snips to cut the chain, flat nosed & round nosed Pliers.
1. using your flat nosed pliers, open the loop one an earwire.
2. Thread through the end of a piece of chain.
3. Close the loop.
4. Thread 1 pearl on a headpin and use your round nose pliers to create the 1st part of a wire wrapped loop.
5. Thread the bottom end of the chain through the loop and finish of your wire wrapped loop and trim the end with your wire snips.
6. Repeat for a second earring. I have assumed a knowledge of basic jewellery making skills, if you are new to jewellery making you can find instructions here http://www.beadstylemag.com/How%20To/Basics.aspx
