The next thing I'm going to talk about is headpins. There are flat headpins which look
like a little flat pin and they're all sterling, they come in different lengths. You have like
an inch and a half here and an inch here and those are great to string your beads on to
use for your earrings or to also use for a centerpiece on a necklace. This is another
type of headpin but it has a bead on the end, so it gives it a nice finished touch on the
end of your earrings. So it looks like it actually has a bead on it rather than attaching
a silver bead on your flat headpins. The one bead that I would be aware of is this one
right here. It's a little bit smaller and it's thinner, but it's got a really tiny bead
on it and what I've found out in the past is that bead tends to pop right off. So it's
not, I would not recommend this smaller silver head bead. If you're going to use a head bead,
try to find one that's got a little bit thicker bead, you can see the difference there, or
the headpin and put your own sterling silver little end cap on there, silver bead on there.
Because that makes a difference about the way, the look of the, finishing touches on
the earrings. If you can see here, I used headpins and I just did the Swarovski crystals
rather than putting a little, and that's used right here with a little headpin and this
is the same with this one. So then there's not silver beads on the end, but if you can
look at it, you can see that this is used with this type of earring.
