Follow these steps to add beads to your hoop earrings:

1: Take one of the hoops and unhook the ends.

2: You’ll need to slightly straighten the kinked end to allow the beads to pass over. Do this gently using your flat nose pliers.

3: Add the beads.

4: Bend the end of the hoop back to its original position to keep from falling off the hoop and to allow the earring to close again.

5: Repeat steps 1-4 for the second earring.

Now your handmade metal hoop earrings are officially beaded!
