Take one end of your Buddy Braids wire and thread a Silver-Plated Crimp Bead approximately an inch from the end. Thread the loop of one side of the magnetic clasp. Thread the end back through the crimp bead. Using crimping pliers (or any pliers you have) squeeze the crimp bead about a 1/4th of an inch any from the clasp. See illustration 1. Trim the excess leaving about a half an inch, you will thread the beads over both.
Christmas Tree Drop (2) – Add one Gold 4mm Bicone, one Emerald 4x8mm Disc, one Green 3x6mm Disc, one Emerald 4mm Bicone, and one Gold Size 11 Silver-Lined Seed Bead to a Silver-Lined Headpin. Just above the seed bead make a 90° bend in the headpin, using round nose pliers (or any pliers you have) hold the wire near the 90° angle and bend the wire around the pliers to make a loop. Trim the headpin to make the loop circular. The loop will look similar to the loop on an eyepin. Repeat one time to create the second drop.
