STEP 1
Line up the picks on the ice-pick bail with the hole in the component or pendant.
STEP 2
Fit the picks through the hole then pinch the legs of the bail together. Press firmly so the component or pendant is held securely.
STEP 3
If you feel you need an extra pinch, use a pair of chain-nose pliers to compress the picks further into the component.
STEP 4
Thread the chain or cording of your choice through the top of the bail.
