Follow these steps to make your own dainty beaded chain earrings:

1: Add a bead to each of the head pins.

2: Using the round nose pliers, bend each pin at a right angle to the bead.

3: Once the pins have been bent, use the round nose pliers again to create a loop to hold the bead in place.

4: Attach each length of chain to each of the head pin charms.

5: Set the chains aside and add the remaining beads to each of the eye pins.

6: Use the round nose pliers to bend each pin at a right angle to the beads.

7: You may need to trim the pins a little using the cutting pliers.

8: Once all your pins have been trimmed to the right length, form each pin end into a loop to secure the bead in place.

9: Take one of the chains with the bead attached to the end. Count four links and then separate the chain to make two pieces.

10: Add one of the beaded head pins to the short piece of chain.

11: Reattach the long piece of chain to the top of the second beaded pin.

12: Count another four chain links and then separate the chain again.

13: Add the third beaded pin to the earring charm.

14: Add the remaining piece of chain to the top of the last beaded pin.

15: Add a jump ring to the top of the earring charm and then slide the earring hook in place.

16: Secure the earring hook in place by closing the jump ring using your pliers.

17: Repeat steps 9 to 16 to complete the second earring.

18: Once you’ve finished your second earring your beaded chain earrings are ready and waiting to adorn those lobes!
