Step 4
While holding the wire below the curb chain, thread the end of a long piece of the ribbon into the first link of the curb chain, wrap it around and below the wire, going from front, to back, and then to the front again. Keep the loop of ribbon loose until you pull the end back around and into the loop, then pull tight to knot the ribbon around the wire + chain link.

Step 5
Weave the ribbon into the same link and towards the back, and down and around to the front again. One more time, loop it into the same link towards the back, but this time keep the loop loose, bring the ribbon end down and back around to the front, and into the loop. Pull tight to knot, and now move onto the chain link next to it.
Thanks for your comments, and sorry it's taken me awhile to get back to you.
As for the length of craft wire, I think it heavily depends on the type and size of chain you are using, and how big you make the loops of chain. For mine, I used about 6.5" for the main piece, and 1.5" for the extra at the ends that I coiled around each other at the top. I think just measure your chains and add about an inch and a half for the extra, and it should be fine!
Have fun making them!

Could you give an estimate on the length of craft wire that might be needed for this project? I'd like to make them with as high-end materials as possible -- they deserve it! -- and I'd like to minimize scraps of leftover wire.
If you're done with the project and don't feel comfortable estimating, I understand.
Either way, these are a great pair of earrings and I appreciate that you shared them with us!
