Use flat nose pliers to open and close jump rings.
1. Open the first jump ring and slip it under two strands on the top of the cap. Then, close the jump ring.
2. Open the next jump ring and attach it to the ear wire. While the jump ring is open, slide onto it the first jump ring with the gnome. Make sure that orientation is correct. Then close the jump ring.
