Put the glass bead on the head pin with the bead cap on second.  Cut the head pin so it is about 1/2 inch after the last bead.  Bend the head pin at the end into a loop with the round nose jewelry pliers.

Join two jump rings to the loop you just made.

Then, Attach two jump rings again.
Combine those two jump rings with one jump ring.
Lastly add the earring hook.
Follow these steps again to make a matching earring.
