Instructions:

Cut two rectangles from the gift card. The earrings shown are approximately 1 inch wide by 1.5 inches tall.

Using your head pins, thread 3 beads on each head pin and close with a loop at the top.
Open all 6 jump rings.
Link 1 jump ring to the ear loop wire and close.
Attach a second jump ring to the first jump ring and the top of the card rectangle. Close jump ring.
