Thread 2 bicones onto an eyepin. Bend the wire, trim

end, and make a loop.

Page 4: Magical Chandelier Earrings with Chain and Icy Crystals

Cut 2 lengths of wire 2 ½ inches, and another 2 pieces 3 ¼ inches long. Attach a longer piece of chain to the loop of an eyepin. Thread 1 bicone, an end of the shorter chain, 2 more bicones, the eyepin dangle made in the previous step, two bicones, the other end of the shorter piece of chain, and a bicone. Bend the end of the eyepin, trim the excess, and make the loop. Before completely closing, attach the other end of the longer piece of chain, then close the loop.

Make two more dangles and attach them to the shorter piece of chain. I skipped 3 links between each dangle.

Make 7 more dangles, but this time with two bicones for each. Attach a dangle to the center

link, and continue adding dangles on either side of the center, skipping 3 links in between.
