Use this free pattern to make beaded safety pin jewelry.

Materials Needed:

• 11 - 1 1/16 inch Safety Pins
• 1 - 1 3/4 inch Safety Pin
• Seed Beads (see picture below for colors needed)

• General Directions Open a safety pin, and slip the seed beads onto it. Once all beads are in place, close the safety pin. You may want to use the needle-nose pliers to pinch the end of the safety pin so it will not pop open later. Repeat this step until all the safety pins are beaded. Now you are ready to put all the beaded pins onto a larger safety pin. Open the large safety pin (the size you need will be stated in the pattern). Use the flat-head screwdriver to slightly pry apart the coils at the end of the large pin. Slip the loop of the first beaded safety pin onto the large one.

  Gingerbread Man Each number column represents a pin; for example, your first pin will have 4 red beads, 2 brown beads, and 4 red beads on it. Your second pin will have 4 red beads, 2 white beads, 3 red beads, and then 1 brown bead. When you thread these beaded pins onto your larger pin, start with pin number 1.     by: Sherri Osborn
