Step 1

crystal beads for sale on eBay

Step 2
Cut and prepare the chain
Cut 2 matching lengths of link chain. I used 3 links in my
design. Slide the chain onto the
earring component to attach it. Separate the loop on the earring component using
pliers, and then push the loop back closed, fastening the chains
securely.
Step 3
Attach the beads
Next we will attach the beads on the chain.
Slide the beads onto your headpin, and make a round loop with your
round nose pliers. Slide the loop onto the chain, then close the
loop. If
you need help learning to make a loop, follow these instructions.
That's it, your swingy new chain earrings are ready to wear!
