    Here are the finished chains. I used copper chain, headpins and dark red glass beads.

    Use another jump ring to attach the ear wire to the first jump ring. This allows the leaf to hang correctly. These earrings are easy personalize by choosing a different color or type of leather or different beads and findings.
