10 - 4mm Red smooth round color-coated glass beads (530-0075)

String each bead onto a head pin. Make a wrapped loop above the bead. Make a total of 30 dangles; set aside.
Create six groups of 5 dangles, mixing and matching the colors and shapes. Each ring of the heart ear post finding will hold two dangle groups. Plan it out so that the earrings look balanced.
Open a jump ring. String a group 5 assorted dangles onto the jump ring. Attach the jump ring to one ring of the ear post. Onto a second opened jump ring, string a second group of 5 assorted dangles. Attach the jump ring onto the same ring of the ear post.
Repeat step 3 until each jump ring holds 5 dangles, and each ring of the heart ear post finding holds two jump rings.

Have fun!
