The procedure for making the double jhumka is described below :
( Step 1 - 4 ):

Here I have attached two jhumkas of the same size. You can also attach two jhumkas of different sizes as well.
First you need to make  jhumka1 ( I have used 5 quilling strips ). Then insert the nose pin in the center of the jhumka1 . Bend the nose pin at the tip and make a small loop using a nose plier. Then make jhumka2 ( I have used 5 quilling strips ). Take another nose pin and first insert it into the loop made earlier and then insert it into jhumka2. This makes the attachment of two jhumkas complete.

Here I have attached two jhumkas ,you can attach more than two also.I have used pink colour quilling strip to make this  jhumka.
