About
eyepins, you can not only use them as headpins, but also can use them as links
to connect two or more parts together. Let’s us talk about using as headpins
first. For example, you would like to create a pair of earrings but have no
headpins with suitable size, in this case, you can use the suitable size
eyepins instead of headpins. When we say you need consider their size, most of
time we mean their length as their thickness or diameter is suitable for almost
all the jewelry beads and jewelry findings. So, you need to know these clearly
that how many beads or findings you will string on eyepins, and what are their
diameters or total length. The length of eyepins must longer than the total
length of all the jewelry materials you string on them, and have enough rest
length to make a loop at the other end of pins.
Next,
let us talk about using eyepins as links in jewelry making. Sometimes, we want
to make bracelet but not only string the jewelry beads together. In that case,
you can use eyepins to link them together. First, choose the jewelry beads you
want to use, and then choose the eyepins with suitable length for these beads.
Of course, you have a wide range of selection about their colors, including
gold, silver, black, antique colors and etc. Choose the suitable color to match
your jewelry style. Second, string a bead on a pin and make a loop at the other
end, which let them look like beaded links. Third, use your jewelry plier to
attach them together one by one. If you like, you can use jump rings to add
some bracelet pendants or charms on the loops, or attach a rhinestone link with
them together. The last step is attaching a clasp on the bracelet. Till now, a
beaded link bracelet is finished. This method is also suitable for creating
necklaces and dangling earrings.
Eyepins
are tinny, but versatile in jewelry making, and what you need is just the
fabulous creativity for the jewelry designs. As they are widely used in jewelry
making, we would like to suggest you to purchase them with other jewelry
materials from jewelry beads wholesale online stores, just like PandaHall.com,
to save money.
