6. Open 1 jump ring and pick up 4 small dangles. Close the jump
ring (use 2 pairs of pliers if you have them).
7. Open a second jump ring and feed it through the same 4 small
dangles, so you have a pair of rings holding the dangles together.
Close the jump ring.
8. Open a third jump ring and pick up the bottom (simple) loop
of one of the eye-pin links and the pair of rings from the previous
step. Close the jump ring.
9. Open a fourth jump ring and feed it through the eye-pin loop
and the pair of jump rings. Close the jump ring.
10. Ensure that the dangles hang freely and that all jump rings are
securely closed. Set the completed dangle aside and repeat the
above steps to attach 4 small dangles to the other eye-pin link.
11. Open the loop on your ear wire and attach it to the wire-wrapped
loop at the top of one of the dangles. Close the loop carefully. Repeat
to attach the other ear wire to the second dangle.
