		STEP ONE: Lay out a balanced bead design (1) then string beads on ear wires the way you want them to appear (2).
		STEP TWO: Take your needle nose pliers and carefully bend the head pin just above the top bead (3). Take your wire cutters and cut off all but about 1/4 in of the wire (4).
		STEP THREE: Now take your needle nose pliers and grasp the end of the wire tip and roll the wire into a smooth loop closed tightly in a ring. Get out your ear wire (5).
STEP FOUR: Hook the bottom ring of your ear wire to the loop you have just made. Take you needle nose pliers and tighten or "close the loop" on your ear wire (6). Whoa! So easy! Now make some more for your family and friends and start planning your first craft fair! Your cookin~
