How to make jewelry with wire and beads?

2nd, create a wrapped herringbone. Each time you form a wrapped coil push up one rhinestone bead.

4th, do a simple loop at the top with the leftover pin part.
Step 2: Design the decorative dangles
Slide the 6mm Bicone Glass Bead onto a short headpin. Loop the rest of the pin. You may need 4~6 pieces for one earring.
