HOW TO MAKE
Earrings
  1. Thread two crystals onto a head pin and trim the end to 1cm above the top bead. Make a right angle bend with flat-nosed pliers. Hold the tip of the wire with round-nosed pliers and rotate, bending the wire part way around the tip.
  2. Reposition and continue rotating until the tip touches the wire. Attach to the centre loop of a chandelier finding. Thread 24 bicones onto individual head pins and turn the top as before. Attach each to a chandelier loop and close. To complete, secure to an earwire. Repeat these steps to make a pair.
