Using an ice pick, carefully puncture a hole near the tip of the top portion of the crescent moon.
Repeat the above step by puncturing a hole near the tip of one of the star’s points.
Use pliers to open a jump ring slightly. Insert the jump ring into the punctured hole of the star.
Attach the jump ring containing the star to the punctured hole of the crescent moon. Ensure the jump ring is securely closed with the pliers.
Reshape and adjust the crescent moon and star so that the assembly can balance on its own.
