Follow these steps to make your stud earrings:

1: Add the small beads to the small head pins.

2: Curl the ends of the pins around your round nose pliers to secure the beads in place. Do this for both beads.

3: Add the larger beads to the larger head pins.

4: Bend and trim the pins so that the pins protrude around 1cm from the bead.

5: Loop the ends of the pins using the round nose pliers.

6: Attach the small beads to the larger ones using the small jump rings.

7: Squeeze out the glue in equal parts onto the scrap paper and mix with the skewer.
