Step 1
Gather your supplies:

irregular flattened silver spacers.

Step 2
Slide beads onto head pins.
These couldn't be easier to make. Slide each bead onto a headpin, and make a closed wire loop at the
top, attaching the earring to the earring component. I
did my beads in this order, but you can add or subtract beads and create
your own order to create your own pleasing design:
- Silver Bali spacer bead
- Green turquoise bead
- Larger silver spacer bead
- Blue turquoise bead
At the top of the last bead, using round nose pliers, create a loop in
the wire, slide onto earring component to fasten, then close the loop. If
you need help learning to make a loop, follow these instructions.
Repeat for second earring.
That's it! Your blue green turquoise earrings earrings are ready to
wear!
