A.
Create several bead drops and add them to chain will create clusters of beads that can be used in jewelry design.
-
String a bead onto one head pin then form a simple loop on the straight end of the head pin creating a bead drop
-
Open the loop on the bead drop and connect it to one link on a section of chain. Close the loop.
-
Continue to create and add bead drops to the same link in the chain to create bead clusters
For more detailed instructions, see the Jewelry-Making Projects Featuring Clusters of Bead Drops in the resources below.
