11.Use the ruler to measure and mark^5 ⁄ 16 ”
above the top piece of the hollow rubber
tube. With the wire cutters or tin snips, cut
the head pin wire^5 ⁄ 16 ” above the top of the
hollow rubber tube.
12.Use the chain nose pliers to bend the head
pin wire next to the top of the rubber tube
at a 90-degree angle.
13.Hold the head pin with the bead, rubber
tube, and the rectangle wire on it in one
hand with the wire that you bent pointing
toward you. Using the round nose pliers, grip
the end of the head pin wire that is pointing
toward you and roll it away from you (think
of turning the ignition key to start your car).
Release the pliers from the head pin wire.
At this point, the opening in the loop at the
top of the head pin wire should still be large
enough to slip the ear wire on. After you add
the ear wire, use the round nose pliers to
grasp the loop of the head pin wire and roll
it closed. You can use the round nose or
chain nose pliers to adjust the shape of the
loop at the top of the head pin if you need to.14.Repeat these steps for the second earring.
