20. Slip on the beaded loop at the top of your earring into the loop of the hook, and use round nosed pliers to close the ear hook loop.
21. Repeat all steps (1-17) to create a matching earring so you have a pair.
For the earrings pictured, I used Japanese size 11 dark amethyst rainbow seed beads, 1/4 inch rainbow purple bugle beads (from Fire Mountain), and pressed glass champagne teardrop. You can make these earrings larger by just using more beads. Pictured a pair I made using a ladder with 7 instead of 5 bugle beads.
The number used just needs to be an odd number, not an even number. The larger your ladder, the larger your earrings. You can add a different look to these earrings by using larger bugles (which will also make the earrings larger). Also use 2 or 3mm Czech crystal beads a the ends of the fringe instead of teardrops.
