Instructions
Step 1
Thread the beads in the right order to form the mushroom shape.
The headpin is going to form the body of the earring, with the flat head preventing the beads from sliding off the bottom. Thread the crystals beads onto the headpin starting with the 5500 Pear Bead ensuring the wider end of the bead faces the bottom, then add the 5542 Small Dome Bead so that the dome curves down over the top of the Pear Bead. Once assembled they should resemble a cute little crystal mushroom.
Step 2
Secure the bead and create a loop.
Use Chain Nose Pliers to bend the head pin at a right angle just above the beads, this will stop the beads from sliding off the pin. Then use Round Nose Pliers to loop the headpin back on itself into a small circle and cut off the rest of the wire with Side Cutters, giving you a closed loop similar to a jump ring. This completes the mushroom pendant and at this point it could be attached to earrings or onto a chain to become a necklace.
Step 3
Attach the ear wire.
Using a combination of the round nose and chain nose pliers, gently twist open the loop at the bottom of the Fishhook Ear wire, then thread the mushroom pendant onto the opened loop. Be sure to always twist the loops open and closed and never pull them open as that will make the loop more likely to break in the future.
Step 4
Create a matching pair.
Repeat steps 1 to 3 to create the second mushroom earring and complete the set.
