Instructions on How to Bead Hula Charms

Charms go on bracelets, anklets, necklaces, cellphones, purses and even zippers on jeans and jackets. Hula charms add a touch of Hawaiian appeal to your collection. They are easy to make when you have the right materials. Knowing how to bead hula charms gives you the opportunity to customize the look of your hula charms, so they match whatever they're attached to.

Things You'll Need

• Ring charm finding
• Hula charm
• Seed beads

Instructions

1. Slide a single seed bead down the opened end of an unhooked charm ring finding. Select any color of seed bead you'd like. Slide three more beads down to the first one you slid onto the ring.

2. Slide the hula girl charm onto the ring finding.

3. Slide an additional four seed beads onto the ring finding, following the charm. This creates a pattern of four beads on each side of the hula charm. If you want, alternate the colors of the seed beads to create differing textures.

Tips & Warnings

• Anchor the beads into place by squeezing a tiny amount of jewelry glue between two seed beads and pressing them together.

• Add your hula charm ring to a necklace, bracelet or anything else that can accommodate a charm ring.
