Earrings

Cut two 12cm lengths of silver tiger tail wire, pass both pieces through the closed loop at the bottom of an earwire and make a crease at roughly halfway down each wire so that they hang and form four 'tails'. Thread all four ends through a single silver crimp bead. Push the crimp up to sit just below the loop and compress to hold it in place.

Thread a sequence of beads through all of the wires; this example used a green crystal followed by a clear crystal, a round foil-lined bead, another clear crystal and a final green crystal. Add another crimp bead and compress tightly with the flat-nosed pliers.
