Start by preparing your charms on nails. Thread the beads onto them, then form a loop using round-tipped pliers.
To make a loop, bend the nail with the pliers so that it makes a right angle. Then cut and wrap the rod around the round ends in the opposite direction to the right angle.
If you need help, consult our instructions: Forming a loop on a nail or jewelry shank.
When the charms are ready, thread them into a ring. To do this, take two pliers and open the ring in half. Thread the charm through and close the ring.
Caution: for the fish charm, the hole may be too large for the nail to fit through. If this happens to you, slip a spinner bead through, then the fish bead, and form the loop of your nail.
Pass the rings through the creole and the loop is ready.
