Tools and supplies: Epoxy 330 adhesive (#60-230), chain-nose pliers, file (#69-048)
TIPS:
* The skull beads have a design on just one side. Roughen the flat surface of the beads with a file before gluing them to the filigrees.
* Once the glue cures, make the earrings in a flash using adhesive dots to attach the posts.
Design Alternative:: Instead of posts, make dangly earrings by attaching ear wires such as #34-223-1 to the top of the filigrees.
