**EARRINGS**

Supplies: beads, headpins, ear wires, round nose pliers, flat nose pliers, and a cutter.

String beads onto headpin(s). Once you have arranged the beads to your liking, use your finger to bend the remaining wire at a right angle, directly above the top bead. Using the cutter, clip the headpin, leaving approx 1/4 inch of wire behind. Grasp the end of the headpin (the 1/4 inch section of wire) with the round nose pliers, and roll the wire towards you, forming a loop. Don't close the loop all the way. Take the ear wire(s) and hang them on the newly formed loop you made on your headpin (where the beads are attached). Close the loop using the flat nose pliers. You now have an adorable new pair of earrings...made by you!
