Sterling and Gemstone Disc Earrings Tutorial

Step 5:

Slide your beads onto your headpins

Step 6:

Slide the discs on behind the beads. 

Make sure you're putting them through the right holes and the discs are facing the right way.

Step 7: Hold one of the discs with your non-dominant hand while grabbing the headpin wire with the other.

Step 8: Make a tiny wrapped loop behind your disc to secure your bead.

1. Use your round-nosed pliers to bend the wire into a tiny loop, removing and repositioning them as needed.

2. Grap the loop with your chain-nosed pliers and wrap the wire tail around the bottom of the loop 2 or 3 times.

3. Flush cut the wire and tuck it down close to the wrap with your chain-nosed or (my personal favourite) the round part of your crimping pliers.

Voila!

The discs with the beads secured to them should look something like this at the back.
