Beading Take the straight pin and string the beads, starting with the small round bead, so that the two smaller beads nest the larger one.
Securing Create a small loop approximately ½ inch before the top bead, using your round-nose pliers to twist the wire of the straight pin. Loop the wire twice around the pin and top bead tightly. Clip off the excess straight pin wire with your wire cutter.
Connecting Using both pliers, one in each hand, hold the jump ring of the mobile phone holder. Open the jump ring, with one hand twisting towards you and the other hand twisting away. Place finished charm inside the jump ring and close the ring securely.
