Step 1
Cut the cord into two equal pieces. We put four closed jump rings on each piece.
Step 2
Apply glue on one end of the cord and hide it in the middle of the curved Tube.
Step 3
On the other side, pour a little more glue and insert the other end of the cord. The ends must stick to each other, additionally adhering to the curved tube. Use the glue carefully so that it does not run over the tube. The cord will form a circle.
Step 4
We connect all the jump rings on the earring with an additional jump ring. We attach the earwires to it.
Step 5
Make the second earring in the same way. Once the glue is completely dry, they are ready to wear!
