4: A pair of beads. I used these recycled timber beads.

Follow these steps to make your little dangling earrings:

1: Add each of the beads to the head pins.

2: Bend the head pins to form a right angle.

3: Trim each pin so there is approximately 1cm left coming out of the top of the beads.

4: Form each pin into a loop to secure the beads onto the pins.

4: Open up each loop slightly and then attach each beaded pin to each of the hooks.

Now they’re finished and ready to wear! Super cute, lightweight and fun!
