Step2. Paint Wood Shapes
Start to paint wood shapes all over the piece using golden acrylic paint. Let it dry completely.

Take a 12mm jump ring which is quite a bigger one and open the ends. Insert them into the buttonhole then close the ends using a flat nose plier.
Step4. Close the jump ring end with Flat Nose Plier
Once you’re done with connecting the components, time to close the end of the jump ring with a flat nose plier. Slightly press the open ends with a plier and it’s done.

This is a very important step as we are making long drop button earrings. Open the mouth of the jump ring and connect it to the eye-pin loop and finally close the ends of the jump ring with a flat nose plier.

Apply E6000 glue to the wood shape right at the central area and put the mirror shape to it.
