Push the end of the eye pin down to create a 90 degree angle.
Move the pliers to the upper portion and push the pin over and around the nose of the pliers to create a loop.

These cluster earrings are so easy to make and you can use whatever kind of beads you desire to make them formal with some glass beads or simple beads for every day use.This is a great project for a beginner to understand the bead cluster earrings steps to complete a very lovely pair. Video helps greatly. I have forgot about the multi bead clusters but now after the reminder I must make some. Anyone else?

I like the cluster earrings, and they are easy to make. I have made several using differnt beads. But the video was very hard to hear.

Like these earrings. Audio to low, hard to hear, visual good. And shouldn't the supply list have "head pins" instead of "eye pins". That confused me till I saw the tutorial. Thanks.
