Follow these steps to make your cute crescent moon earrings:

1: Add each of the pearls to the head pins and curl the tops using your round nose pliers to secure the pearls in place. Once you have made all your pearl charms you can set them aside.

2: Take one of the memory wire pieces and create a loop at one end using the round nose pliers. I curled my wires in towards the inside of the curve.

3: Add beads to the wire until there is about 1cm left without beads.

4: Loop the other end of the wire to secure the beads on.

5: Repeat steps 2 to 4 for the remaining three pieces of memory wire.

6: Take two of the pieces of memory wire and attach them at one end using one of the small jump rings.

7: Attach the bottom of the memory wire pieces together using another of the small jump rings to form an oval shape.

8: Repeat steps 6 and 7 using the remaining beaded memory wire pieces and small jump rings.

9: Add three of the pearl charms to one of the larger jump rings and attach it to the end of the memory wire ovals. Repeat this for the remaining three pearls and attach them to the other memory wire charm.

10: Add an earring hook to the top of each of the ovals to finish the earrings off.

Now you can hang them from your ears and have some fun!
