Beaded key dangle

It could go on a key ring, but really it’s more of a fidget toy: I just like the sound the beads make when I play with them 🙂

It started off as a way to practise manipulating wire with jewellery pliers, putting beads on head pins and creating a loop to hang them from. The technique is clearly demonstrated in this Beaducation video.

But I like to make use of anything I create if I can, so I grabbed a complementary mix of beads, put them all on individual head pins with loops and hung them on jump rings. Then I made a short central chain of purple jump rings and arranged the beads along it.

Simple but satisfying.

Supplies:

A selection of beads from my stash, teal and purple jump rings, silver coloured head pins, key ring.
