Step 17: Remove the wire from the jig and cut the excess wire off. Close the second loop that you just completed.
Step 18: Using your round nose pliers convert both loops into eye loops as shown below.
Step 19: Open both loops and place this second wire component onto the first wire component as shown below center. Close both loops to make this permanent.
Step 20: Using the excess wire from above first cut sharp end off the wire then, make a Figure 8 connector. Open one end of the figure 8 connector and connect it to the two top loops of the wire component that you completed in step 19.
Step 21: Open the top loop of the figure 8 connector, and connect this loop and wire componet to your ear wire finding. For the earrings shown, the 4mm ball with loop, post style earrings were employed.
Step 22: Now add three bead dangles to the three bottom loops in the wire component. These bead dangles are made of a head-pin finding with some combination of beads. Here is where you can be very creative with your combination of beads. Select here for instructions on how to make a bead dangle.
Make a second earring using the exact same steps.
