Head Pins

Head pins and eye pins turn a single bead into an earring, a charm or a dangle: slide the bead on, bend a loop above it with round nose pliers, and hang it from an ear wire, a chain or a jump ring. Plain head pins have a flat head that stops the bead, ball head pins show a small polished ball beneath it, and eye pins end in a loop so beads can be linked in a chain. They come in silver plated, gold color, rose gold and stainless steel, sold in packs. The gemstone beads to hang on them, and the pliers to bend them, are a click away.
