Promise Pin Tutorial
Created by: Mollie Valente
Designer Tips
- Use 26-gauge wire to lash the beads to the pin back.
- Cut the chain into two pieces: 5-1/2" and 6-1/2" in length.
- Use 6mm jump rings to attach the chain to the pin, staggering the swag of the chain.
- Use 4.5mm jump rings to attach charms of your choice to the chain ends.
