Katie's Beading Lesson
Beaded Wedding Ideas by Katie Hacker

Materials:
Two 4mm ivory pearl Swarovski Elements #5810 rounds
Two 6mm ivory pearl Swarovski Elements #5810 rounds
6mm crystal AB Swarovski Elements #5601 cube
Two 6mm crystal AB Swarovski Elements #5328 bicones
8” length of 26-gauge gold Artistic Wire #AWS-26-NTB-30YD
Gold bobby pin

Tools:
Round nose pliers
Chain-nose pliers
Wire nippers

Instructions for one bobby pin:

1. Place the wire near the folded end of the bobby pin and coil it tightly three times around the upper surface of the pin.
2. String a 4mm pearl onto the wire and coil the wire once around the pin.
3. Add a 6mm bicone, 6mm pearl and a cube to the pin, making one complete wrap between each bead so they are completely secure.

3. Complete the pattern in the reverse order: 6mm pearl, 6mm bicone, 4mm pearl and then coil the wire three times tightly around the pin. Trim off any extra wire and use pliers to carefully press the wire ends flush against the pin.
