The Basics!

Jennifer August 1st, 2007

So what are these things for?

1.) The Head Pin - Good for dangle earrings and charms.

2.) The Eye pin - Can put a bead or a charm on it, then with needle nose pliers create a circle with the other end. Can connect to another eye pin, chain, etc.

3.) The Crimp Bead - Used to hold the string in place on both sides of the clasp. You will use needle nose pliers to secure the crimp in place.

4.) The Clasp- Here there are so many to choose from. I will show you a few. This is what you use to open the necklace or bracelet to put it on.
