Vintage Auqa Bead

Add a 6mm auqua colored crystal bead onto your head pin.

*Tip: Don’t have eye pins but have plenty of head pins? Use your wire cutters to cut off the “head” on a head pin, and then make a loop on the end using your round nosed pliers.

1. Take one 6mm round crystal and slide it onto a head pin.

2. Grasp the head pin about 1/4 inch away from the crystal, and use your fingers to wrap the pin around the nose of your pliers.

3. Use wire cutters to trim off excess head pin right at the end of your curve.
