Wrapping headpins is one of the techniques I use in almost all my jewelry making. It's not too hard to figure out, but takes some practice to look nice. Mine still look a little wonky sometimes. Here is my step by step tutorial on how to do them yourself. You need: round nose pliers, regular pliers and wire cutters.

A headpin is a jewelry finding made of metal and is bendable. The end has a flat surface, which prevents beads from falling off.
Wrap looped headpin beads are perfect for earrings, bracelets and necklaces. They are more secure than a regular looped headpin and have a nice finished look.
I'll be sharing some other pieces I made using this technique later this month!
