Then place one 4mm flower shaped Spacer Bead on top of the cup or cone shaped paper Jhumka and insert the eye-pin on the center of the flower shaped Spacer Bead through the narrow hole of the Jhumka, in such a way that the `eye' sits inside of the cone, and bend the pin's other end from the top of the cone to steady it.
