STEP 1: (Images 2-3) Thread onto a Base Metal Eye Pin one of the Ivory Swarovski Crystal Pearl Beads and 1 of the 8mm Flower Beadcaps. The fit might be a little tight for the Swarovski Crystal Bead to insert into the opening of the bead cap. Press down gently on the bead cap and the petals will slightly bend around the bead cap. Thread on the second 8mm Flower Petal Beadcap so the petals are alternating. STEP 2: (Images 4-5) Thread the following bead caps onto the Base Metal Eye Pin from Step 1 in this order; 1 6mm Brass Petal Bead, 1 8mm Brass Etched Daisy Bead Cap turned upside down, and 1 5mm Pewter Faceted Rondell Bead. STEP 3: (Image 6-10) Trim away all but ¼ inch of the Base Metal Eye Pin using a pair of 5.5 inch Maxi Shear Flush Cutters. Create a loop using round nose pliers. Before closing the loop, add a 13mm Copper Leverback with Open Ring. To ensure that the earring hangs correctly, make sure the top loop of the eye pin is at a 90 degree angle from the bottom eye pin loop. STEP 4: (Images 11-14) Using 2 pairs of 5 inch Basic Flat Nose Pliers, open up one of the 6mm Antique Copper Plated Brass 16 Gauge Textured Open Jump Rings and thread on the 8mm Antique Gold Pewter Faceted Drop Bead and the eye of the assembled Base Metal Eye Pin. Close the jump ring. STEP 5: Repeat Steps 1-4 to create the matching earring set.
