Follow these steps to make your rainbow pearl drop earrings:

1: Add the pearls to the small head pins.

2: Create a loop at the top of each pin using the round nose pliers to secure the pearls in place.

3: Set the pearl charms aside.

4: Add the glass beads to the eye pin in a pattern of your choice. I made a rainbow with mine.

5: Create a loop at the end of the eye pin using the round nose pliers to secure the beads on the pin.

6: Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the second eye pin.

7: Attach a pearl to one end of each of the eye pins.

8: Attach the other end of the pins to each of the earrings. Now they’re finished and ready to wear!
