Larger sized "E" beads and coiless pins make this project easier for kids. Ages 9 and up.

You need:

• Optional Tags
• Long-Nose Pliers

-or-

• Coiless Safety Pins - 2¼"
• 4mm Round Metallic Beads
• "E" Beads
• Safety Pins, Size 2

Instructions:

Each row hanging down is a size 2 pin with "E" beads strung on it. Open these pins and string beads following the pattern above. Keep in mind that you are stringing the beads upside-down so you will start at the top with of each row and work down. Then turn the pin upside-down. Use pliers to squeeze the pin head closed permanently.

Open up the coiless pin. You will need to bend it open to at least a 60 degree angle to get the beads on. String on a round metallic bead, then the first beaded pin, then another round metallic bead, then the next beaded pin. Continue beading in this manner using the pattern above as a guide. When stringing, you will need to slide the beads and pins around the coil the the other side of the pin.
