supplies needed:
- Paper Clips
- Small Decorative Beads
- Jewelry making Endpin
- Needle Nose Pliers
- G-S Hypo Cement or any glue with a fine tip applicator
You can simply add beads like I did on the first paper clip above. Add a tiny drop of glue to hold the beads in place if they move up and down the wire.
Create dangles by threading a bead on a jewelry making endpin.Use pliers to create a small loop and wrap wire around the top of the bead. Clip off excess wire. (See illustration, below) Then place the dangle in the order you want onto the paperclip. Close the paper clip to its original position.
