Designer Tips

  • New to jewelry-making? See Basic Jewelry-Making Technique Sheet (PDF) for instructions on making simple loops and opening jump rings.
  • You can use round nose pliers or wire looping pliers to make your simple wire loops for this project. Place the following beads onto an eye pin: 3mm bicone, 3mm pearl, 4mm round bead,4mm pearl, 4mm round bead, dragonfly wings, 3mm pearl. After the last bead, create a simple wire loop. Trim off any excess wire.
  • Open a jump ring and link onto it the 16mm pear-shaped pendant. Also link onto the jump ring the loop at the base of your dragonfly wing/bead segment. Close the jump ring.
  • Open the loop at the base of your earring hook, the same way you would open a jump ring, and link the top loop of the dragonfly wing/bead segment onto it. Close the loop back up.
  • Repeat steps 1 - 3 to make your matching earring. Enjoy!
