How to do it
1. Thread all the different beads onto a piece of elastic beading cord.
2. Charms: put a bead onto the head pin. Cut off the pointy end approx. 8mm from the bead using side cutters.
3. Use round nose pliers to make a loop on the remaining bit on the head pin.
4. Open the thick metal ring using two pliers, preferably flat nose pliers. Attach the bead on a head pin onto the metal ring. Then close the metal ring.
5. Thread the finished charms onto the elastic beading cord between the beads.
6. Finish the bracelet with four or five tight knots, preferably reef knots.
