Gather together your supplies. You'll need some skull beads, which you can either buy or make out of clay (check out my other how-to). To accompany, you'll need a headpin, two small pearl beads and one glass bead to go with each skull.
Place your skull and other beads on a headpin.
Bend the headpin by 90 degrees above the top bead.
Fold the remaining wire around some needle nose pliers and snip off where the wire loops.
Slip the loop on to some chain and close.
Repeat for your remaining beads. Now here's a little trick. I'm allergic to chain that's not silver, so I only used a small amount of metal chain for my necklace but attached a jump ring and a clap to either side of the chain.
I can then attach this on to a longer silver chain. It's a great way to save money, if you're allergic to cheaper metals like me, or to change the length of your necklace easily.
