Stage 1

Top tip – straighten the headpins between your fingers.
Thread a bead onto a headpin, trim a few millimetres off the end.

Stage 2

Bend the end of the headpin into a loop and close. Repeat for all of your beads, cutting all of the headpins all at slightly different lengths. Thread the fuschias so the ball of the headpin fits neatly in the centre.

Stage 3

Open a jump ring, thread on the headpins in the following order – a faceted bead, pale pink flower, lilac flower, clear flower, faceted bead, clear flower, lilac flower and finally a faceted bead. Add a long ballwire and close the jump ring. Repeat to make a pair.

Stage 4

This is what your earrings should look like.
