Handbag charm with an embroidered pendant

Start by cutting a piece of wire about 10 cm long. Thread on a gold crimp bead, then thread one end of the wire back through the bead to form a small loop. Using pliers, squeeze the crimp bead to secure the wire in place.

Next, add a knot cover by inserting the crimp bead into it. Also slide the shorter end of the wire inside the knot cover, then gently close it using pliers to completely conceal the crimp bead.

You can now begin stringing. String one imitation freshwater bead, followed by two turquoise Heishi beads. Repeat this sequence three times.

Now insert the gold star charm, then repeat step 3 to continue stringing.

To finish stringing, add another crimp bead, followed by a crimp bead cap. Thread the end of the wire back through the crimp bead to form a small loop, then crimp the bead using pliers. Next, slide the crimp bead inside the crimp cap and gently close the cap to achieve a clean, neat finish.

Finally, thread a ring through the loop of the knot cover, then attach it to the carabiner to assemble your creation. You have now completed your first stringing project. 

To complete the second strand, start by repeating steps 1 and 2. Next, alternate stringing two white seed beads followed by two blue beads. Repeat this sequence until you reach the desired length. To finish stringing, repeat steps 1 and 2 in reverse order: start by threading the knot cover, then the crimp bead. Next, form a small loop, crimp the bead using pliers, then gently close the knot cover to achieve a neat finish.

Add a jump ring to the blue star charm, then attach it to the strand of seed beads. Next, close the jump ring with pliers to secure the assembly.

Finally, add a ring to the embroidered pendant, then attach it to the carabiner. You can now thread the three pieces together to finish your keychain.
