Beautiful Bling ring

STEP 1.  Take a selection of ball end head pins and a selection of pearls & crystals (picture 1) I have choose a variety of sizes of pearls & crystals to create this elegant look.  Make between 2-4 of each bead that you are using by turning a head pin loop at the top of each bead

STEP 2.  Add a bead onto each loop of this bling ring by flipping open the end of the head pin (picture 2)  and closing it round the ring loop.  You will probably need at least 2 beads per loop to create a cluster (picture 3).  Try the ring onto your finger as this will lift the beads upto the top, if it needs extra beads adding place more in to create desired look.
