Materials Used To make The  Project

Quick Project Steps

Gather Materials: Prepare 12 head pins, 4 mm Czech glass beads, a larger bead for the cluster core, and an additional bead for the top.
Create Dangles: Slide a Czech glass bead onto a head pin, bend the wire to form a loop with round nose pliers, and trim the excess wire.
Assemble the Cluster: Thread the core bead onto a head pin, then attach all the dangles around it.
Ensure they sit closely and point in various directions.
Add the Top Bead: Place the top bead (e.g., amethyst or fluorite) above the cluster to secure the dangles in place.
Create the Bail: Use round nose pliers to make a loop above the top bead, then wrap the excess wire around the base of the loop and trim.
