An alternative is to form a T-closure like on bangle bracelets. If using a store bought bracelet, this step is skipped.

The earring used as the face in this pin came from a garage sale. The owner couldn't believe I'd want just one so she gave it to me. Ask your friends for orphan earrings or old jewelry from their jewelry boxes. Always keep an eye out for embellishments in unlikely places! *As this is a one of a kind piece, you can display it in a shadowbox as art when it's not being worn. If selling your designed piece, price it according to the degree of heartbreak you will experience at seeing it leave home because, let's face it, we can never really charge enough to pay for our time.
