I found it easiest and fastest to make each separate bead unit for both pair and then connect them afterwards. Also to make sure your loops are uniform, it is a good idea to take a pen and mark the spot on your round nose pliers where you turn your first loop at so that you dont have to guesstimate every time.
I got these red vintage beads from a broken bunch of real vintage jewelery and signed costume jewelery that I bought and then recycled to make my own projects with.
You can usually find vintage beads at garage sales, or your own attic, ask granny for any broken jewelery that maybe she no longer needs and then you can create a simple, maybe even sentimental, set of your own.
Also please remember that vintage beads(non plastic) tend to be a little heavier on the earlobes being as the beads can often be stones or glass
