Instructions

step 1
step 1
You will lay out the bottom part of your chandelier earring first with the TierraCast keepsake 3-to-1 link as pictured. On each of two headpins, place one scalloped bead cap and one 4mm pearl - these will go on the outside loops. On a third headpin, place one scalloped bead cap, one 6mm pearl, one daisy spacer and one 4mm pearl - this will go on the center loop. Set aside.
step 2
step 2
Cut your 6-inch piece of silver round wire in half. With a simple wire twist, attach one 3-inch piece of wire to the center bottom loop of the TierraCast garland 3-to-1 link, leaving enough wire on the bottom to attach it to the keepsake link later. Place one scalloped bead cap, one 4mm pearl and one more scalloped bead cap on the wire. On each of two headpins, place one scalloped beadcap, one 6mm pearl, one daisy spacer and one 4mm pearl. Set aside.Watch our wire twisted loop video for a how-to demonstration by our beading expert.

step 3
Now get ready to do the twist. With a simple wire twist, attach the keepsake link to the silver wire on the garland link. Next, attach the three headpins you prepared in step 1 to the bottom loops of the keepsake link. Finally, attach the two side headpins from step 2 on to the garland link.
