Eye Pins

What you'll need:

  • About 4cm of 0.7mm wire (sterling silver, gold, copper etc). 0.6mm will work as well, and is good for beads with very small holes.
  • Round nose pliers.
  • Cutting pliers.
Notes: This is a much cheaper way to obtain eyepins. It is simple and quick.

  1. Cut the wire to about 4cm (or longer/shorter depending on your design).

  2. Use your round nose pliers to make a loop at one end. The loop should be approx 3mm in diametre.

  3. Close it with your pliers, or leave it open and thread a hanging bead on.

  4. There are endless possibilities!
