Materials…

• Silver rectangular toggle clasp
• Silver headpin and eyepin
• Silver chain and jump ring
• 4mm round cat’s eye beads
• Silver 2mm round beads
• Acrylic triangle through-drilled bead
• Round-nose and chain-nose pliers and side cutters

To create…

1 Thread a silver bead, a cat’s eye bead and another silver bead onto the headpin and insert through the hole in the point of the triangle from the outside in.

2 Repeat the silver and cat’s eye bead pattern on the end of the headpin and form a simple loop from the wire end.

3 Thread a silver bead onto the eyepin and insert through the top hole in the triangle from the inside out.

4 Thread another silver bead onto the eyepin, then create a wrapped loop in the end of the wire, fixing the toggle part of the clasp onto the loop before closing it and wrapping the wire.

5 Attach the bar part of the toggle clasp onto your chain using the jump ring, then simply hang the toggle on your pendant from the bar.
