Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Wrap a piece of wire a couple of times through the hole in the chevron focal.

Step 2

Slide 6 beads onto the wire and wrap it a few times around the middle of the focal.

Step 3

Repeat steps 1-2 for the other side, except slide on only 5 beads.

Step 4

Repeat steps 1-3, except wrap the beads on the other side of the focal & use 6 for both sides.

Step 5

Make two bead links and attach to the chevron focal. Attach a 1/2" piece of chain to each bead link. Connect the top link of the chains together with a jump ring and slide the jump ring onto an earwire. Make a bead charm with tow beads and attach to the same jump ring holding the chains together.

Step 6

Use a small piece of wire t attach the star charm to the bottom of the earring.
