Follow these steps to make your toggle clasp hoop earrings:

1: Create a loop at one end of the memory wire using the round nose pliers.

2: Add beads to the wire in any pattern you choose.

3: When there is approximately 1cm of the wire left unbeaded, create a loop at the other end of the wire and thread it through the initial loop you made to close the beaded hoop.

4: Repeat steps 1-3 for the second hoop.

5: Add the circle parts of the toggle clasps to the top of each hoop, attaching them using two of the jump rings.

6: Add the toggle part of the clasps to each of the post earrings using the remaining jump rings.

7: Now you can attach the hoops to the earrings and wear them out!
