Step 1: Thread Head Pin for Center

Thread a head pin through a 11/0 seed bead, a 6/0 seed bead, a bead cap and then another 6/0 seed bead. Using your round nose pliers loop the head pin close to the bead and trim the excess.

Step 2: Thread Head Pin for Dangles

Thread a head pin through a 11/0 seed bead and a 6/0 seed bead. Using your round nose pliers loop the very end of the head pin without trimming it. Open the loop and feed it through one of the points on the bead cap and close securely. Repeat to attach a bead dangle to each of the points of the bead cap.

Step 3: Repeat

Repeat to create the second earring.
