Charm Of Many Colors | The creator of this piece says: This key chain charm was one of the very first pieces that I made. I had seen friends with all sorts of purse charms: some small, others a bit bigger. I started playing to see what I could come up with. I did about 5 different designs and this is the one I liked the most.
This charm can be done in different colors as well as all beads the same color and it looks great both ways.

Materials
- 15 2 1/2 in. silver head pins
- 45 silver beads and spacers of different shapes and sizes
- 30 color beads of different colors and shapes (sometimes the beads that you have left over from your projects work great!)
- 15 toggle clasps (you are only going to use the round portion of the clasp)
- 15 jump rings
- 1 key ring
How to assemble:
Take one head pin and start by inserting a small silver bead, then the insert the color bead and continue to insert beads alternating with a silver bead until you get to about ½ inch from the top. With your nose pliers do a loop with the ½ inch pin that is left and insert it in the small ring from the round toggle piece. Continue to do this with all your 15 head pins. When finished insert all 15 finished pieces in the key ring and ENJOY! |
About the Artist: Pat AguirreI have been making jewelry for about 4 or 5 years now. I am retired and actually I started because I owned some pieces that I wanted to change the design of them. Initially I gave away most of my pieces as gifts, or donated them for charity events until I decided to try to do a website. I knew it was going to be hard work and very competitive and probably take a while before it had any traffic, but when there is passion for what you do, you take your chances. So here I am doing what I enjoy. View Pat Aguirre's website at The Joy of Jewelry.
