Materials:
*Two different types of beads, one to denote dots and the other dashes
*Head pins
*Ear wires
*Round nosed pliers
*Needle nosed pliers
*Wire cutters
Directions:
*Pick a short message to encode. Each of the earrings I made spells out one three-letter word.
*Translate your message into Morse code.
*Add beads to a head pin to spell out your message. If you want your message to read vertically from top to bottom, you'll have to put the beads on in the reverse order in which you would read them. For example, if your message ends with the letter "A," which is dot dash, you'll want to put the dash bead on first and then the dot.
*Cut off all but about 1/4" of excess pin. Curl the tops of the head pins using round nosed pliers and clamp onto the ear wires using needle nosed pliers.
