Project Tip:
You can use any style of chain to make this easy pin. I chose Figaro chain for its delicate, vintage look. A flat surface is preferable for attaching the pin back. I used a craft knife to carefully pry the crystal off the back of the metal bead. Then, I used fine sandpaper to lightly sand the back of the bead.

1. String the metal bead and a crystal bead onto a head pin.

2. Make a large loop and slip the end of each piece of chain onto the loop. Wrap the extra wire around the base of the loop.

3. Attach a jump ring to the end of each piece of chain.

4. String a crystal bead onto a head pin. Make a wrapped loop to attach the pin to a jump ring on the end of one piece of chain. Repeat to attach a crystal to each piece of chain.

5. Glue the pin to the back of the metal bead. Let it dry thoroughly.
