No Reservations Game
Two, three or four may play. Choose one player to act as
banker to take care of money and cards. Health
Inspector cards are shuffled and placed face down on
the game board. Other cards are arranged according to
the spaces marked in the game board graphic side up.
Each player is given a colored playing piece and
$2,500.00 to start. The player to the right of the banker
goes first, and so on.
Start at Payday. Roll the die and move your playing
piece the number of spaces shown on the die. Always
follow the arrows. If you are passing through a space
which has 2 arrows, go either way. If you land on a
space with 2 arrows, go either way on your next move.

STEP 1
Put your selected beads on one of
the headpins.




STEP 2
With the flat end of the headpin pointing down, hold the
wire as close to the beads as possible with the thin end
of the needle nose pliers.
STEP 3
With your thumb, bend the end of the headpin to a 90 degree angle.

If the wire is too stiff to bend with your thumb, you might instead
place the pliers 2-3 mm above the beads, then turning the pliers,
make the 90 degree bend.
STEP 4
Cut the end of the wire if it is too long for your loop. The
size of the loop will depend upon the diameter of the
needle nose pliers, and your preference. A larger loop
may be easier at first. 7-10mm may be a good length
STEP 5
Follow steps 1-5 on the second earring
now so that you can cut the ends to the
same length





STEP 6
With the edge of the wire squeezed between needle
nose pliers, turn the pliers half a turn to begin a loop.
STEP 7
At this point, for a better grip, I usually release the pliers
and turn them back (a half turn) to the position where I
had started the loop. Now finish the loop with another
half turn. The loop might still have a gap at this point but
you can finish that in step 10
STEP 8
With flat pliers you can straighten the loop,
if needed, so that the earring is one
straight line.
STEP 9
Now you need to re-open the loop sideways with
flat pliers. Hold the pliers on the end of the loop
and bend it to side just enough to allow the
earwire or earpost to slip on.

STEP 10
Slip the earhook or earpost on and close the loop in the
same way that you just opened it but now you can also
press the end of the loop closed at the same time.
STEP 11
You are done. Put them on!
