How to Make a Head Pins Out of Wire

Head pins are a standard jewelry making finding. They are used in drops of beads from earrings ro dangles on a bracelet. You can find them in most beading stores, in many different types of metals. Basic head pins do not cost much and unless you are an avid wire wrapping artist, buying head pins will save time when putting together many earrings at one time. But if you have a flare for desgining some different earrings and bead drops, here are a few head pins you can make with your wire stash. There is also a basic type that I use too.
