Take the 5 inch piece of silver wire, thread it through the bead and wrap it around the top of the bead. Do twice. This is possibly the hardest part and don't worry if it takes you a few tries, because I definitely didn't get it first try.

Making the Outline

Take the 6 inch long piece of gold wire, fold it into a teardrop shape leaving some excess wire at the top. Take one of the pieces of excess wire and wrap it around the other. Then have it come down in the middle of the teardrop and make a closed hook at the end of it. Have the other piece of wire come up and create a closed hook at the top of that one. Do this twice.

Assembly

Attach the bead to the inner hook in the out line using one of the jump rings. And attach the earring hook to the top hook on the earring. Do this with the other earring and enjoy your new earrings!
