    Quick Project Steps

    Use your wire-working and basic stringing skills to create a necklace with a playful side. 1. Collect various 1-hole beads ranging in size from 3-8mm. Add one or two beads to a headpin and finish with a wrapped loop. Continue making small charms in this fashion until you have approximately 80, or more. 2. Watch the Charm Cluster Necklace to see how to turn a collection of charms into a fluffy centerpiece. 3. String beads on either side of the charm center to your desired length. Add a clasp. Almost any size or shape bead can be used in this necklace. Collect the extra beads from other projects for a project like this, and even try shortening it to a bracelet.
