Instructions
Step 1
Begin by measuring and cutting 9 pieces of wire at 1.25 inch length each.

Using the round nose pliers, make a simple loop at one end of each piece of wire. Make sure the loop touches the stem to close the loop completely. Thread a bead onto each wire.

Step 2
Make a simple loop around the other end of the wire. Close the loop tight to the stem to make the first bead link.

Step 3
Make a simple loop at one end of another piece of wire. Thread a bead on the other end. Make a simple loop at the other end of the bead, but do not close it yet.

Step 7
Open one jump ring. Loop the jump ring around one end of the bracelet chain to form the clasp end.
Open the last jump ring, loop it through the other end of the bracelet chain, and the hook clasp to finish the bracelet.

Step 8
For the earrings, use the wire cutters to cut 6 pieces of wire into 1.25 lengths.
Make a simple loop on one piece of wire and thread a bead onto the other end. Make the second simple loop on the other end, close the loop around making sure it curls to the wire stem. Make a second bead link, attaching it to the first one before closing the second simple loop. Repeat for the third and final link. Repeat for the second earring.

These earrings measure 2 inches in length.
