Step 1: Thread Beads Onto Hoop

Feed beads onto one gold plated hoop finding in the order shown.

Step 2: Create a Loop and Attach to Ear Wire

Using your chain nose pliers bend the end of the hoop upward at a 90 degree angle approximately 1/2 inch from the end. Feed the bent end through the small hole on the other end of the ear finding. Using your round nose pliers loop the wire. Attach a simple ear loop to the earring using your chain nose pliers. Repeat to create the second earring.
