Types of Earning Pins for Beaded Jewelry

Video Transcript

"The next thing I'm going to talk about is headpins. There are flat headpins which look like a little flat pin and they're all sterling, they come in different lengths. You have like an inch and a half here and an inch here and those are great to string your beads on to use for your earrings or to also use for a centerpiece on a necklace. This is another type of headpin but it has a bead on the end, so it gives it a nice finished touch on the end of your earrings. So it looks like it actually has a bead on it rather than attaching a silver bead on your flat headpins. The one bead that I would be aware of is this one right here. It's a little bit smaller and it's thinner, but it's got a really tiny bead on it and what I've found out in the past is that bead tends to pop right off. So it's not, I would not recommend this smaller silver head bead. If you're going to use a head bead, try to find one that's got a little bit thicker bead, you can see the difference there, or the headpin and put your own sterling silver little end cap on there, silver bead on there. Because that makes a difference about the way, the look of the, finishing touches on the earrings. If you can see here, I used headpins and I just did the Swarovski crystals rather than putting a little, and that's used right here with a little headpin and this is the same with this one. So then there's not silver beads on the end, but if you can look at it, you can see that this is used with this type of earring."
