In this tutorial we will show you how to create a beautiful accessory of jewelry using some pins with hooks for clothes, which you can combine with different colors and models.

Thanks to the hook pins you can create a beautiful bracelet or super colorful necklaces to give a touch of style to your looks.

Materials:

  • Hook pins.
  • Rhinestones or colored beads
  • Twine or waxed thread.

With hooks of this type and recycling tips you can create innovative accessories

Step by step to make this recycling idea

1- The first step is to open the small hooks and fill each one with colored beads. Once you have filled each one with the colored beads, you have to close them.

2- Next, you have to cut two pieces of waxed thread and pass them through the ends of the needle hooks.

3- Once you have reached the desired length of the bracelet with the hook pins, close the bracelet with two knots (one for each piece of string). If, on the other hand, you choose to make a necklace instead of a bracelet, you can join them lengthwise.

4- In this case, you should join the hooks together at the ends. You can use small steel rings to help you make the join more attractive.

5- If you have or can get hold of colored hook pins, you can use them directly (without adding beads) to create beautiful bracelets and necklaces. Ideally, let your imagination run wild and create original and unusual accessories.
