Now place the larger slider onto the eye pin and follow by placing 1 medium seed bead, loop 1 eye pin on. Add 1 medium seed bead, 1 eye pin, 1 medium seed bead.

Loop the eye pin that you’ve been working on through the loop of the other eye pin from step 2. Cut off excess eye pin and close the loop.

Step 8:

Place a smaller bicone onto a head pin. Loop through the loop of the horizontal eye pin. Cut off the excess and bend closed to form a loop. Repeat this for the other side.
