Directions:
- Slide in through the middle and clamp down onto the wire end and piece.
- Wrap wire around and up. Take off pliers and clamp both sides of the wire and pendant piece.
- Bend wire to come across the top of the pendant.
- You can take your sharpie or some fine point marker to mark the top to indicate where you will hope punch for the headpin.
- Gently pull off wire. Take hole punch to the middle of that dot you made.
- Slide on headpin, coming under the hole you punched.
- Slide wire piece back on your pendant piece. Fold wire to the back.
- Cut wire so that it overlaps with the other wire end.
- Bend out the bottom end, fold in the top end and bend back the bottom end to overlap. Use nylon pliers or regular pliers to cinch them closed.
- On the headpin, slide on nugget bead, gemstone and Czech bead and make a simple loop. Open loop and slide on post earring hole. Close loop. (As an option here, you can make a wrapped loop.)
- Repeat all steps for other earring.
