- 1). Sketch or arrange beads in your preferred design pattern. For example, lay a straight line of beads and alternate between a spacer bead and colorful bead.
- 2). Join the head pin and the large bead used for dangling by threading the head pin through the dangle bead.
- 3). Use your round-nose pliers to bend the end of the head pin in a loop or hook.
- 4). Use your chain-nose pliers to cut a small piece of wire that’s 2 inches longer than the straight line of beads.
- 5). Thread a crimp bead on the twisted wire by pulling it through the loop or hook made previously. Pull the wire back through the crimp bead, leaving the 1-inch wire piece to help secure the wire bead key ring.
- 6). Press the crimp bead flat using your chain-nose pliers to finish the key ring.
