1
First of all, take a small straight piece of wire and insert a crystal bead into it. Now, make an eye pin on every side of the bead. Making an eye pin is a process of making loops at the end of wire, specifically designed for jewelry making purpose. It seems to be very simple activity but it requires proper practice.

Once you make a double eye pin, use round nose pliers and gently open one of the loops. Now, slide the earring hook onto the loop and close it properly.

Open the loop at the other side and insert a chandelier component into it. Take round nose pliers and close the loop appropriately. Set it aside for now.

Grab three small headpins and slide one crystal bead onto each of them, keeping the middle one large and the two side ones medium in size. Make sure to add a small space bead to the central (main) headpin –if you like.

Now, make a loop on the three bead added headpins, using round nose pliers. Making a loop is not difficult at all. Bend the first headpin clockwise, right around the nose of the pliers. Now, twist the tail of the headpin until it forms a perfect loop. Carefully remove the nose pliers and cut the excess wire with the help of a sharp side cutter.
Note: Always wear safety glasses in order to protect your eyes during the cutting process.

Repeat step 5 with the remaining two headpins to form a loop on them.

Open the loop of the central headpin with the nose pliers and connect it to the central bottom part of the chandelier earring component. Close the loop again.
Note: Do not open the loop too wide, otherwise; it will be distorted.
