If you like dangling earrings, get the 3 inches pins. I usually get my pins from PandaHall.com which can offer me all kinds of pins I desired. They have good quality, but at low prices."

Well, to the beginner of jewelry makers, they may are not experienced in using them to create fashion hanging jewelry pieces. Now we make jewelry with the help of head pins in the following steps:

1.      Always select the pin long enough to allow for the stack of the beads and little longer for the loop.

2.      Thread some beads on the pin. Some beads need the holes to fit to the pin.

3.      Use the wire cutter to cut off the excess head pin and leave the material about half inch left the pin.

4.      Use the tip of the round nose pliers and bend the top head pin material about 90 degrees.

5.      Use the thicker part of the round nose to grasp the end pin near the top bead and roll the head pin into a loop. We have to finish the loop using the fine tip of the pliers.

6.      Now we will attach the formed loop to the earring loop or jump ring.

7.      Repeat all these steps to make another earring.
