how to create a pendent on a chain
parts needed – bead to make into a pendent, headpin (we recommend a large sterling silver one; which we have used here), about 75cm of chain, one clasp and 1-2 small spacer beads
select a headpin which is long enough to go through the bead with extra length to work with and a large enough head so it will not fall through the bead. (You can always put a spacer bead on the headpin to stop it falling through the bead)
Put the headpin through the bead and then a small spacer bead on the headpin
