Some patterns in our collection date back far enough that a material originally called for may no longer be available. That can become an opportunity: modern beads, trims, cords and finishes can bring an older project forward without losing the idea that made it appealing in the first place.
While the illustrations show the fish hook style of ear wire you can use whatever style you prefer. Using a jumpring between your earring hook and your bunny is optional but it may help your bunny dangle to hang a little smoother and it is easy to do. Our instructions will assume you are using a jumpring.
Add a jumpring to your earring hook and close it. See instructions at the bottom of this page if you have never opened a jumpring.
Cut a 3 1/2" piece of wire and insert it into the jumpring (or earring hook loop). Bend the wire so that about 1/2" of the wire is on one side and 3" is on the other side. With your jewelry pliers gently wrap the short side of the wire around the long side about 3 times.
Thread a 3 x 6 oval bead, one 6mm pearl, one 8mm pearl and then one 4mm pearl onto your wire. Bend the wire around and go back through the 8mm pearl, 6mm pearl and add the other 3 x 6mm oval bead onto the end. See the diagram below. The red line represents the path of the wire through your beads. For best results work as much slack out of your wire as possible after you've threaded on all 5 pearls.
Once you get as much slack out of it as you can, bend the wire over the tip of the last 3 x 6mm oval bead and cut to about 1/8" long. Press the wire down against the oval bead.
Repeat for the other earring.
Alternate design: Bend the 4mm pearl up and to the back to represent the bunny's cottontail.
