Ingredients
2 x Vintaj Brass Earwires
2 x Vintaj Brass Bird Facing West Charms

2 x Pink Pearl Beads - check out our freswater pearl selection here
2 x Swarovski Crystal AB 2X Xilion Beads

Tools Required: Round Nose Pliers, Side Cutters, Chain Nose Pliers
Method
1. Begin by taking all 6 head pins and threading the beads onto them - one bead per headpin
2. Next take your round nose pliers and create wire wrapped loops on each headpin and snip off any excess wire using your side cutters.
3. Slip the headpins onto one of the 5mm jump rings and slip the jump ring onto the loop at the bottom of the bird charm
4. Next use the other 5mm jump rings to attach the top of the bird charm to the 10mm jump rings.
5. Finally use the 10mm jump rings to attach the earrings to the earwires.
Note: Use your chain nose plies to open and close the jump rings.
