1. 1
   

   First off, make sure you have all of your materials:
   - Some amount of single-holed buttons or beads (I used ten, 5 for each earring)
   - Twice as many jump rings as you have buttons/beads
   - 2 earring hooks
   - Jewelry pliers, or any pliers you have lying around, as long as their nose fits into the jump rings

   
   
2. 2
   

   Open up one of your jump rings using the pliers so that you can fit in other rings.

   
   
3. 3
   

   Slide one of the earring hooks onto the jump ring and squeeze closed using the pliers.

   
   
4. 4
   

   Take one of the beads and another jump ring. Open up the jump ring and slide in the bead. Before you close it, slide the jump ring that was attached to the earring hook onto your open jump ring.

   
   
5. 5
   

   You will now have an earring hook attached to a jump ring attached to another jump ring, attached to a bead.

   
   
6. 6
   

   Now, open up another jump ring and attach it to the jump ring with the bead. You will have a nice row of jump rings with a bead hanging on the side.

   
   
7. 7
   

   Open yet another jump ring, attach it to the last jump ring on the earring, and before closing, attach a bead. Do you see the pattern? Repeat this for the rest of the earring and this pattern will result:

   - Earring Hook, Jump Ring, Jump Ring with Bead, Jump Ring, Jump Ring with Bead, Jump Ring, Jump Ring with Bead, Jump Ring. Jump Ring with Bead, Jump Ring, Jump Ring with Bead

   AND...you're done! Fancy danglies in a super short amount of time! And inexpensive too! Enjoy! But don't forget; to disinfect. ;)

   *PS: I used my last two beads to make a matching necklace as seen in one of the main project pictures. I used the same method with the jump rings and strung it onto a neck chain! If you have leftovers, this is a nice way to use 'em up :)
