Designer Tips

Cut a length of wire, about 3 feet long. Too much more, and the wire will tangle easily, too much less, and you may run out of wire.
Anchor wire to hoop and then lash pearls around the edge. Finish hoop with extra lashing at the end. Press beginning and ending lashes in place with pliers.
Attach charm to the bottom of the hoop with oval jump ring, and attach earwire to top of hoop. For best way to open and close loops, see Jump Ring Hint in Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF).
Repeat for other earring.
