Designer Tips

Add pearl beads, scarf and hat to head pin, starting with the largest (10mm) pearl bead.
Make a simple loop at the top. New to jewelry-making? See Basic Jewelry-Making Technique Sheet (PDF) for instructions on making loops, and most secure way to open a jump ring (or other loop, such as the ear wire's loop.)
Twist open the loop on the ear wire, add snow man drop, and close loop.

Design Alternatives

For snowman earrings with faceted round clear crystal beads, see Snowman's Holiday Crystal Earrings.
Try sterling silver ear wires instead of silver plated ear wires.
For the snowman's scarf, try a 6mm glass disk bead in the color of your choice. (The Rhinestone wheel beads are not always available.)
