Materials:

orange 20-gauge Soft Flex Craft Wire - 12 inches
one pair silver ear wires with ball
two 17x12mm ceramic Teeny Tiny Bat Beads
two 12x14mm Czech clear/black with silver foil lampwork ovals
round nose pliers

Instructions:

Use 6 inches of wire to string one bat bead. Place the bead about 1-1/2 inches from one end of the wire. Bend the wire ends up around the top of the bat until they meet just above the bat's head. Use chain nose pliers to bend the long end of the wire so that it is perpendicular to the top of the bat's head. Use the short end of wire to wrap around the long length of wire. Trim the short wire end.
Use the long wire end to string one oval. Form a wire-wrapped loop that attaches to one ear wire.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for a second earring.
