To customize your headband, you will need :
- a headband
- Purecrystal cabochons
- Purecrystal shuttles
- raw brass chain
- two claw crimps
- brass wire
- jewelry clips
Place the oval cabochons into the corresponding crimps. Hold the cabochon in place with the tip of your thumb while you fold the tabs over with flat tongs.
Then crimp the Swarovski shuttles.
Take the brass wire, do not cut it, keep it on the spool. Wrap the end 3 times around the base of the headband. The end of the wire should be towards the outside of the headband and pressed against the headband. Use pliers to tighten the wire. Put a small amount of jewelry glue on the back of the chain for a few inches, place the chain against the headband and wait for the glue to dry while holding the chain in place. Then wrap the brass wire around the chain.
Continue until you have covered the entire headband. Cut off excess chain with a wire cutter. Finish by wrapping the wire around the headband three times.
Place an oval Swarovski cabochon in the center of the headband with a piece of brass wire. The wire ends should be positioned towards the outside of the headband and pressed against it.
Then place the others about an inch apart.
That's it! You have finished customizing your headband!
