Step 3: take the ball headpins and the different colored seed beads. String the beads onto the ball headpins. Assemble some with 4, some with 3, some with 2 and one with one bead to make them as different as possible. Now cut the pins about one centimeter above the beads and form a little loop with the round nose plier. (pic 5)
