What You Will Need:
- 2 headpins & 2 earring wires Jewelry Making Findings
- Selection of Jewelry Making Beads
- Round nosed pliers
- Wire Cutters
Let’s Make Head Pin Earrings:
Step1 Thread the beads onto the headpins; you will need to leave about a 1/2 inch of the headpin free at the top. If you have more than a 1/2 inch, trim it down with the wire cutters.
Step2 Using the round-nosed pliers bend the headpin directly above the beads into a 45-degree right angle.
Step3 Now hold the bent headpin at the very tip with the round pliers and roll it back up and around upon itself to create a loop leaving just enough space to slip on an earring wire before closing completely.
