Step2: Add items 1xA, 1xB, 1xA, 1xC through T flat head pin as illustrate.
Step3: Bend the excess T flat head pin to 90 degree with Round Nose Pliers.
Step4: Use Round Nose Pliers to make a round loop as illustrate.
Step5: Use Cutter to cut the excess head pin.
Step6: Use Round Nose Pliers/Flat Nose Plier to open the loop of ear hook in upward position.
Step7: Attached the open ear hook and beaded Rondell Cylinder. Close the opened loop in opposite direction. Done the first earring.

If you like bigger earring style, you may change the item A and item B to bigger size. You may also change item B to Pearl. This earring can match to Simple Swarovski Rondell Cylinder Necklace. Hee..


For proper beading instruction, normally is cut the excess head pin before the loop is made. To me, I find more practically is made the loop first before cut off the excess head pin to avoid overcut the excess pin. You may choose your own preference for this skill.
