Materials Needed

Red Seed Bead mix
4mm Swarovski Crystal
50cm of Nylon Thread
Crimp Beads
Jump Ring
Head Pins

Step One

Thread on seed beads onto one end of the nylon thread for about 5cm.

Step Two

Thread on a crimp bead and then thread the beaded end of the nylon back through the crimp to form a loop.  Squeeze the crimp bead together to keep it secure.

Step Three

Continue to thread on seed beads and crystals in a random design until you have about 2cm of nylon thread left.  Thread on a crimp bead and then a jump ring.  Then thread the nylon back though the crimp bead and pull tight.  Squeeze the crimp bead together to keep it secure.

Step Four

Using the head pins, thread a random pattern of seed beads and crystals and using round nose pliers form a loop at the end of each head pin.  Make each pin a different length.
