Dangling Amethyst Earrings

Kits Available in eight colors

1) You will make a total of six four bead chains (three 7mm beads and one 10mm bead. Take one of the head pins and place a 10mm bead on it. Cut the head pin to about 3/8" beyond the bead. Then take your round nose pliers and roll the end of the head pin to make a loop. Take the flat nose pliers and close the loop. (Fig 1)

2) Take a head pin (or you can use and eye pin for the small bead) and cut off the head. Using your round nose plier make a loop on one end. With the flat nose pliers close the one end. Now take a 7mm bead and place it on the head pin. If you are using longer head pins you will need to cut the head pin to about 3/8" beyond the bead. Roll the end with your round nose pliers. (fig2)






3)Take the loop that has not been closed and hook it on to the loop of the 10mm bead. Close the loop with your flat nose pliers. (fig 3)







4) Repeat step three. (fig 4)









5) Once you have four beads on the chain you can take the open loop of the last bead and hook it on to the loop of the necklace end. Use the flat nose pliers to close the loop.

6) Once you have two more chains made just add them to the loops on the necklace end as you did in step three. (fig 6)








7) Take your ear wire and open up the loop with your flat nose pliers. Place it on the single loop of the necklace end and close the loop with the flat nose pliers. Now that you have one earring complete just repeat all the steps for the second earring. (fig 7)
