Step 7: At this point, for either style of top wire component, we
need to convert the loops made on pegs 1 and 3 into eye loops and reorient
them 90 degrees. Converting these loops into eye loops is done
by grabbing the wire with the tips of your round nose pliers and twisting
as shown at the
bottom of this web page. |

Step 8: Reorienting the loops is done by grasping the loop with your
bent chain nose pliers while holding the loop made on peg 2 with your
other hand, then twisting your pliers 90 degrees. The end result
will appear as shown at right. The opening in the two loops can not
been seen because it is facing to the side in a plane that can not be
viewed by the camera. This completes the top wire component. |

Step 9: Now we need to assemble the earrings. Connect the top
wire component to the largest of the three body wire components by opening
the loops in both wire components, making the connection then closing the
loops.
Step 10: Using a 4mm bead and a head pin, make a bead dangle and hang the bead dangle from the two outside loops and the center loop. Step 11: Using 22 gauge wire and a 4mm bead, make two wrapped bead links to connect the two empty loops on the largest wire component to the two outside loops on the middle wire component. You will need to open the loops on the middle wire component to help make this connection, then close the loops once the connection has been made. At this point two of the tree tiers are connected. Step 12: Just like you did in step 10, we need to use head pins and 4mm beads to make bead dangles and hang these bead dangles on the two outside loops and the center loop of the middle wire component. These instructions continue on the next page. |
