Hello, I'm Alan with Expert Village. You're almost finished with your project. Your earrings are almost completed. Now what you have to do is take your French earring, open up the little loop that's on the bottom of it and attach it to the earring itself and then close it and make sure it's on secure and you're done. Now that you have your French earring in your pliers you can hold the base of it with your hand and then open it up just a little bit. You don't have to open it up too large. Just enough for your earring to slide on. You already have your loop made so you just slide it on to the earring and then close the loop back. There should be no gap between where your loop is closed and the earring is attached so that it won't fall off the earring. This might take a little adjusting, but again using magnification you will be able to that a lot better and be able to control it. Now you have a pair of earrings.
