| 1. |  To make one, first fold a 10-inch piece of 24-gauge wire in
half, twisting a loop in the middle for a hanger. Thread beads
and charms onto both sections at the same time for a head and
body, then separate the sections and add more beads and charms to
each one to create the legs. Trim the ends, if needed, then curl
them with jewelry pliers to keep the beads in place. For arms,
twist a 4-inch piece of wire around the body, just below the
head. Thread on beads, then trim and curl the wire ends. Finally,
string the bead buddy onto a chain for a necklace. |
