You'll need the following:

1 loop of ring size memory wire
18 size 6 red glass beads
1 bug bead
1 head pin
round-nosed pliers
*wire cutters
flat-nosed pliers

*Note: Make sure when working with memory wire that you do not use your good wire cutters or they will be permanently damaged. You'll need some very heavy-duty wire cutters for this.

1. Start by making your bug dangle. Slip one red bead, one bug bead, and one red bead onto a head pin.

2. Then use round-nosed pliers to make a wrap loop on one end of the head pin, and set this piece aside for later.

3. Use round-nosed pliers to make a curl on the end of the memory wire. You may also need to use flat-nosed pliers to help close this curl.

5. Make another curl on the other end of the memory wire as you did in step 3.
