Supplies
Dragonfly wings organza 59x11 green
Pinch Bail heart gold plated 4mm
Jumprings gold plated 6mm
Earwires gold plated 19mm
Chain - I used the peridot semi precious gold plated chain 2.5mm
Step 1
To prepare the wings - Fold in half and place a small amount of glue at the top of the wings. This will help create a hole in the wings and prevents them from fraying. Once dry pierce a hole in the top and clamp the heart bail over the top of them. Attach them onto an earwire using a jumpring.
Step 2
Cut the chain in two lengths, one measuring 6cm and the other 4cm. Attach the two lengths of chain onto a jump ring and attach onto your earwires with another jumpring.
Step 3

"Just used my new kumihimo handle and weighted bobbins and they are great. My kumihimo has never been so neat and the thread/ weave so tight. It's great."
