She’s Crafty is your step-by-step guide to arts and crafts projects you can do for under $20.

You will need:

• Cell phone cords ($3.95/dozen)
• Head pins, jump rings, and chain ($6.95)
• Any beads on the site you’re into:
  I used these ($7.95) and these ($3.99)
• Needle-nose pliers

Head pins are long wires with a flat end to keep beads from falling off. If your bead has a small hole, string it on a head pin, clip off all but ¼ inch of the pin, and bend that into a loop. Now you’ve got a pendant.

If the bead’s hole is too big and slips right over the head pin’s flat end, cut off the flat part and bend one end into a hoop. Proceed as above to make a pendant.

Attach one or more of the pendants you’ve created to the main loop of the charm to complete your creation.
