Arte Metal head pin. Add coiled drops, dangles & clusters to your designs! The head pin is the base element used to create bead drops: The bead link is the base element for the old world art of linking. The bead drop is a compliment to the bead link. Create earring drops, charm drops, dangles, clusters and more... Don't forget to use the 1" head pin when designing with Vintaj "creative toggle" bars...it's essential! To create a basic bead drop: Step A: String the bead onto the head end of the head pin Step B: Hold the bead securely against the head end of the head pin and cut approximately 1/4" above the bead using the side cutters on the rosary pliers. Step C: Continue holding the bead onto the head pin securely with your fingers, use the rosary pliers to grip the non-looped end of the eye pin. While still holding securely, pull the eye pin toward you, bending it into a 45-degree angle. Step D: Continue by turning the eye pin away from you (keeping the angle) until you've completed 1 full loop, tucking the end of the loop into the hole of the bead, keeping plenty of tension on the bead. Your bead should not turn freely on the head pin. Don't just stop there! Add a bead cap or two for a more versatile look. Get creative... stamp, hammered, twist, bend, hang, link, layer, cluster, glue, alter, ink, paint and more to create all types of projects! ****
