Step 10: We need to make a modified Figure 8 Connector to connect
the top of the earring body to the ear wire finding. This modified
Figure 8 Connector is made out of about 1 1/2 inches of 20 gauge wire.
Instructions for making this modified connector can be found here.
When the connector is completed connect the earring body to the ear
wire finding by opening then closing the loops in the connector.
Step 11: At this point we need to make the two central bead
dangles. These dangles are made from a head pin, with the following
beads threaded onto the headpin, first a 4mm bead followed by a 2x4mm
silver lined bugle bead, followed by a 4mm bead, another 2x4mm silver
lined bugle bead and a final 4mm bead. Connect one of these bead
dangles to each of the center loops in the bottom of the earring body.

Step 12: The next step is to connect bead dangles to the two outside
loops in the earring body wire component. These dangles are made of
a 4mm bead, a 2x4mm silver lined bugle bead and finally a 4mm bead.
Connect a bead dangle like this to each outside loop in the earring body
wire component.
Step 13: The final step in making these earrings is the 6mm bead connected to the top loop in the earring body wire component. Allow about 1/4" or 6mm space above the 6mm bead so that the bead will hang in the middle of the earring body. Make a bead dangle with a head pin and one 6mm bead to hang from the top loop in the earring body. This completes your Four Plus 1 Chandelier Earrings. Make a second earring by following the same steps. |
