Directions:Cut 2-8 link lengths of link chain. This forms 1. the base that the drops will be clustered onto.Lay out your head pins threaded with beads. 2. There are 10 crystal drops, 10 rosaline drops, 10 light peach drops and 10 amethyst drops on regular head pins. There are 8 rose gold bead drops on ball head pins. You can use the diagram on the following page to identify the pieces you’ll need. Divide these colors equally into 2 groups; one group of 24 will be used for each earring.The drops of buttons and rose gold beads are connected to the chain using wrapped loops for a 3. very secure hold. Remember to leave the tail end of the head pin out straight and uncut. Thread the tail onto a chain link until the loop sits directly on the chain. Finish the looping process.Randomly place drops along each link of the chain or see the diagram on the following page for 4. specific placement of drops. The tassel is just a group of 14 various lengths of cable chain brought together with a 6mm jump 5. ring. You can cut the cable chain to any lengths and arrange as desired or follow the pattern on the next page. The diagram on the next page lists the quantities of cable chain lengths needed to make both earrings. Jump rings should be opened and closed by moving the open end to the side, a twisting motion 6. (think how a paper clip slides open – the shape is not distorted). If you open going against the curve of the circle it is difficult to get the circle to meet properly again to make a secure connection and the wire is more likely to break or slip out. Open the 6mm jump ring to connect the tassel end to the chain of clusters. Use a 4mm jump ring 7. to connect the top of the link chain of clusters to the hoops themselves.

The cable chain lengths pattern goes as follows onto
