Frida's Hands Earrings Tutorial

Created by: Mollie Valente

Designer Tips
String the following beads onto a eye pin: 1 round corrugated-metal bead, 2 rubber wire keepers (these work as positioning beads for the large-hole Mirage bead), 1 Mirage bead, and 1 round corrugated-metal bead.
Finish the end of the eye pin with a wrapped loop; snip off the excess eye-pin tail. For step by step instructions on making wrapped loops, see Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF).
Use a 5mm jump ring to attach the wood charm to the bottom loop of the eye pin.
Attach an earring hook to the top (wrapped) eye-pin loop.
Repeat steps to make the second earring.
