Head pins
Head pins are a great material in DIY jewelry making. They can be used in your DIY jewelry designs for creating bead charms that can be added to earrings or used as pendants. The head at the base of the pin stops beads from sliding off, while the top of the pin can be shaped into a loop, ready to be attached to your chosen finding. I use head pins to make simple earrings and charms.
