How Do You Make Bead Charm Jewelry?
Bead charm jewelry is beaded jewelry that incorporates charms into the design. Charm bracelets are a common use of both beads and charms, but you can also add charms to other pieces of beaded jewelry, such as a necklace or an earring. Many bead stores sell manufactured charms in a variety of colors and styles, but you can also make your own charms with a few beads, head or eye pins, and a simple wire loop. Mixing and matching both types of charms is a good way to get creative with your beaded jewelry. Place your materials on a flat work surface, and lay out all the pieces you need for the project. Use the round nose pliers and the needle nose pliers to grip the loop on the eye pin, and gently twist it open, just enough to add the charm. Slip one charm on the end of each eye pin, and close the loop with the two pairs of pliers, again by twisting. Place the 10-mm round bead on the eye pin. Use the round nose pliers or the needle nose pliers to grip the end of the eye pin wire and bend it
