    3. Continue beading the hoop until only a small part is left bare and then lace this end back into the top attachment. Tip: Add a little glue to this end to ensure that it doesn’t pop out while you are wearing your earrings! Repeat these steps for the second hoop.

    4. Once your hoops have been completed, take your feature beads and thread them onto the head pins.
