Step 16: Open the loop on one end of the top wire component and
insert one end loop on the semi-circular wire component, then close the
loop in the top wire component. Use bent chain nose pliers to open
and close that loop. Step 17: On the opposite end of the top wire component, open the end loop. Also open the loop on the opposite end of the semi-circular wire component. With both loops open, connect these two wire components and close both loops. Once connected the two wire components will appear as shown at right. Step 18: Now we need to make the modified figure 8 connector to connect the earring body to the ear wire finding. Cut a segment of wire 1inch long and make the connector as described here. Step 19: Using your bent chain nose pliers, open one loop in the modified figure 8 connector and connect it to the top loop in the top wire component. Once connected, close that loop with your bent chain nose pliers. Step 20: Now connect your ear wire finding to the top loop in the modified figure 8 connector by opening the loop, making the connection and then closing the loop. |
