    The document provides instructions for making two styles of beaded earrings - long earrings and short earrings. The long earrings are made with seed beads, crystal hearts, and bicone crystals arranged on thread and attached to a beaded bail with branched fringe on both sides. The short earrings use a similar technique with seed beads, crystal hearts, and bicone crystals but with shorter fringe. Instructions are also provided for making customized heart-shaped ear wires to complete the earrings.
