Badge Lanyard

1. String a size 6/0 seed bead onto a head pin. Use round nose pliers to make a 90 degree angle about 1/8 in. above the bead.
2. Place the round nose pliers about 1/4 in. away from the 90 degree angle and roll them back toward the stem to create a loop.
3. Use the round nose pliers to hold the loop and use your fingers to wrap the wire end around the stem. Use wire nipper tool to trim any extra wire.
4. Make 12 additional beaded charms by repeating steps 1 – 3.

Lanyard

1. Remove the plastic clip from the spool of Beadalon wire. Measure a 32 in. length of wire. Use the wire nipper to cut it.
2. Open the Greek clasp and slide the swivel onto it. String the swivel onto the center of the Beadalon wire. Hold the ends of the Beadalon wire together and string one 8-10mm bead onto the wires. Push it down to the swivel.
3. Using one strand, string ten size 6/0 seed beads, two beaded charms, ten more size 6/0 seed beads and one 8-10mm bead. Repeat this pattern two more times, then string beads as follows: 20 size 6/0 beads, one 8-10mm bead, 20 size 6/0 beads, one 8-10mm bead and 20 size 6/0 beads. Place a piece of adhesive tape over the end to prevent the beads from sliding off the end.
4. Repeat Step 3 to bead the other side of the lanyard. When all of the size 6/0 beads are strung, string a crimp bead, one 8-10mm bead and a crimp bead onto the end. Remove the adhesive tape from the other end and place the wire end through the crimp beads and 8-10mm bead.
5. Pull both wire ends so the beads are snug (but not too tight), then use crimp tool to crimp each crimp bead. Use the inner jaws of the crimp tool to make a dent in the crimp bead, then, place it in the outer jaws to fold it over. Use the crimp tool to slightly round the crimp bead. Using the wire nipper, cut off any excess wire.
6. Add your badge to your new stylish lanyard and you're ready to go!
