4. Bring your wire over the top of the head of your nail (this will be a loop to attach your jump ring to) and wrap the remaining wire back down the shaft.

 

 
5. Attach your beaded head pin with a jump ring to the side of the nail.

 
6. Attach your fish hook ear wire with a jump ring to the top of the nail.
