4 x 6mm Swarovski Crystal Bicone beads in Crystal AB

Method
1. Unscrew the end from the Pin Charming Safety pin and gently thread on an 8mm Swarovski Crystal followed by one end of the chain and then another 8mm Swarovski Crystal, then add the watch face (remember it should be "upside down" like a nurses watch), then add another 8mm Swarovski Crystal bead. the other end of the chain and finally add the remaining 8mm Swarovski Crystal bead, finish by screwing the end of the safety pin back on. You may find it difficult to get the 8mm Swarovski Crystals and the watch face onto the safety pin - if you do don't force the beads on, simply put a very, very small amount of oil on the pin (cooking oil will do!), this will lubricate the pin and help you thread the beads on more easily.
2. Use the headpins to add the remaining Swarovski Crystal beads onto the heart chain and finish by adding the pewter charm to the chain using the split ring.
