Getting Started
Because this pin has a separate pin stem, you can create variations to match your wardrobe. With the technique described in step 11, you can use a range of bead shapes and colors. Try designing your own pin stem with a spiral finial. And remember you aren’t limited to silver wire—explore different types and colors of wire as well!
