You Will Need (8 things)
- 10 g Sz 6 Seed Beads Gold
- 10 g Bugle Bead(s) Blue
- 100 4mm Cube Beads Gold Plated (check hole size fits on wire)
- 95 50mm Head Pin(s) Gold Plated
- 1 Choker Gold Plated
- 7 g Sz 11 Seed Beads Red
- 1 Fast setting Acrylic Glue (Nail Glue is fine)
- Round Nose Pliers
Steps (7 steps, 120 minutes)
-
1
Put a tiny dab of glue on the end of a headpin and slide on a Sz 6
Seed Bead, followed by a Sz 11 Seed Bead and then the Bugle
Bead. -
2
Leave to dry for a few minutes. Acrylic glue is much better than
superglue as it will not taint your beads, like some superglues
can. -
3
Using round nose pliers turn the very top of the pin into a loop,
making sure it is tightly closed. -
4
A good tip is to make your pliers with a dot of permanent pen so you
can make each loop the same size time after time. -
5
Make approx 95 of these pins.
-
6
Unscrew the ball from the end of the choker and thread the pins
on alternately with the cube beads, leave a tiny space at the end
for the choker to fasten. -

Wear with pride!
