Tools needed for both pairs:

Step 1: Daytime: Wire Wrap Chain

Cut wire into two 3 inch pieces. Set one section aside and using your round nose pliers, make a u-shaped bend in the end of the other section about ½ inch from the end. Thread chain pieces onto the wire in this order; 2 inch, 2.5 inch, 2 inch, 2.5 inch, 2 inch, 2.5 inch, 2 inch. Wrap the end of the wire to secure the chain pieces.

Step 2: Daytime: Attach Bead Cap and Ear Wire

Thread the long end of the wire through a bead cap and then through a round bead. Using your round nose pliers create a 'messy wrap' by looping the wire around the pliers and then loosely wrapping the wire around the base of the loop, overlapping and layering the wire. Tuck in any loose wire ends. Using your chain nose pliers open the loop on the bottom of the ear wire to attach the tassel to the ear wire.

Step 3: Daytime: Repeat

Repeat to make second earring.

Step 4: Nighttime: Attach Ends to Crystal Chain

Fit the end of one section of Swarovski crystal chain into a crimp on end. Using your chain nose pliers fold down the prongs to hold the chain securely. Repeat with other crystal chain section.

Step 5: Nighttime: Thread Wire Through the Chain

Cut wire into two 2 inch pieces. Set one piece aside and using your round nose pliers, make a u-shaped bend in the end of the other piece about ½ inch from the end. Thread chain pieces onto the wire in this order; 1.5 inch, 2 inch, 2 inch, 1.5 inch, 1.5 inch, 1.5 inch. Add a crystal chain section. Wrap the end of the wire to secure the chain pieces.

Step 6: Nighttime: Thread Through Bead Cap and Attach to Ear Wire

Thread the long end of the wire through a bead cap and then through a rhinestone bead. Fold the wire over and trim to ½ inch. Using your round nose pliers loop the wire. Using your chain nose pliers open the loop and attach the tassel to the ear wire. Close securely.
