We have some new supplies in to help you create Baubles on the ends of your keychain links! The Premium Beaded Keychains come with a chain that can be used for adding a little extra pizzazz. We often use charms for this element, but wanted to show you something new and SO EASY to have on hand.... BEADS! By just adding the new Flat Head Pins, Needle Nose Pliers, Round Nose Pliers, Side Cutters and some Bitty 4mm Spacers to your crafting toolbox, you can convert any of your beads to a charm to coordinate with your keychain.
Here's a video showing you how:
So the steps for looping are:
- Add beads
- Use Side Cutters to trim Head Pin 3/8" from the last bead
- Use Needle Nose Pliers to flatten out the end of the Head Pin at a 90 degree angle from the last bead
- Use the Round Nose Pliers to make a loop
Some notes about the beads....
- Beads labeled Bitty 4mm Spacers have small holes the Head Pins won't fall through. The Premium Stardust 4mm Spacers will also work along with the Acrylic 4mm Spacers. The Zinc Alloy and Stainless Steel Spacers with larger holes for cord will not work, the head pin will fall through them.
- Generally speaking, 8mm beads will also work as a starting/ending bead. There may be a bead here or there in a batch that has a larger hole than the rest, but in general each of the styles have a small enough hole for the head pin.
- If you're trying to add a silicone bead to a bauble, you'll want to be sure to use an end bead as the silicone will very easily stretch over the head pin - a bauble should not be made with solely silicone beads.
