Write an article based on this "Follow instructions 1 to 3 as above, but skip step 4 above by not cutting the pin yet. Bend the head pin all the way around, then wrap it several times around the pin where it just comes out of the bead. Open a "jump ring" (basically a circle of wire that's not entirely closed) and slide on the head pin with beads and the earring hook. When opening a jump ring, do not pull the ends apart directly away from each other (such that they are still in the same plane); this weakens the ring."

Article:
Cut the excess and tuck the end in so that it does not stick out. This creates a closed, secure loop. Close the jump ring securely. Instead, slide one end past the other (perpendicular to the plane of the ring) to open, and slide back in the same manner to close.
