"This is what we'll need to make our bead encrusted close pin dragonfly. You'll need some wired ribbon I have a nine inch piece and a six inch piece and that's the ribbon has wire on the, on the edges and it has a shear in the middle. You need goggle eyes one cloths pin and an assortment of glass beads. Any style or shape what ever you like or even sequins and a pen or something to curl the ribbon with and a pair of scissors and of course nice thick fast drying craft glue. Let's start by gluing our goggle eyes onto our cloths pin. You place them where ever you want and let them dry a bit and next we're going to put glue all over the top of the clothes pin like this. Without getting it on the eyes and we'll encrust the whole top of the, the clothes pin with beads. So you can just put a large assortment of beads on the paper or on a plate and just sort of dip the glued surface into the beads. If you want to put some thing I have these gold bugle beads. You can add variety in by putting sequins or beads anything that looks pretty and put lots and lots because it makes it really pretty. Now OK you let that dry a bit and then we'll add the wings."
