Instructions:

  1. Cut 2-4" lengths, 2-5" lengths, and 2-6" lengths of Soft Flex Wire from the spool.
  2. Crimp a crimp tube at the bottom of each of the 6 strands, using crimping pliers.Cut off any excess wire below the crimp using Flush Cutters.
  3. On each of the 6 strands, place one clear Czech glass bead, one Ceramic Bat, and one clear Czech glass bead.
  4. Starting with the shortest strand, place other end of wire through a crimp tube, through the split ring, and back through the crimp tube. Once desired length is measured (I have made my shortest 3"), secure crimp using crimping pliers.
  5. Repeat step 4, only making the length longer (I have my middle strand 4" long).
  6. Repeat step 4 for the longest length (mine is 5" long).
  7. Place split ring, which should have 3 graduated lengths of Soft Flex, through leverback earwire, into notch where it will stay in place.
  8. Repeat steps 4-7 for other earring.
