FRINGE:
Cut 28 4.5" strands of thread/floss. Fold each in half. Using your hook, draw a up a folded strand through the back of the edges of single crochet edge. Then pull the tails through the loop and pull tight. Repeat with 7 tails on each side. I unraveled each string in half (so 3 strands each). Trim to desired length, about 2". I pull the fringe perpendicular to the work when trimming. this gives the cascading effect to the earrings.
Attach earring findings to the top middle of the triangle and ENJOY!
