I wanted to show an easy way to create a bead cluster look, so I used pre-made seed bead chain. I love how the colors pop against the jet bird coin.

↓ Step-by-step
↓ Buy the supplies

Supplies you’ll need:

  • Czech glass bird 12mm coins
  • 1ft of seed bead chain
  • jump rings -ear posts
  • head pins

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Slide a bird coin onto a head pin and create a loop at the top. Trim any excess wire. Follow the tip below if you need help with this step.

See Tip: Wire Wrap a Charm

Step 2

Cut 1/2" piece of chain. There are chain links under the seed beads. Be sure to leave yourself a link at the top and at the bottom (as shown in picture). I had to cut off a seed bead barbell to expose the link so I could use it. Fine wire cutters help with this step.

Step 3

Use the jump rings to attach the chain to the post and bead charm.
