Create a Coil to Hold the Gimp
Create a coiled loop on the length of wire. Feed three strands of gimp through the coil.
Wire Wrap the Loop on Top of the Gimp
Using your round nose pliers create a wrapped loop atop the bead cap, looping all the wire around the top of the cap.
Attach the Magic Beans to the Gimp and the Dangle to the Ear Wire
Feed an Elaine Ray bean bead onto one gimp strand. Tie a knot at the very end of the strand of gimp to hold the bead on. Place a small drop of Fray Check on the knot. Repeat until all the tassel fringes are knotted. Open a square jump ring and attach the tassel to the ear wire.
