They are pretty easy to do and don't take too long to assemble. They do have to cure for 24 hours, though. I love how shiny and untarnished the silver wire is. That's always been my beef with doing them on copper or steel wire. They aren't exactly "jewelry ready" if the rest of your piece is done in shiny silver. I love these for wire wrapping with a loop and dangling from a plain chain. So fun, so playful!
So, thank you Sharon! I have had a blast making these!

I think your headpins are LOVELY!!! I made some for a customer and used sharp pins but just cut off the end. She needed them for her work.
Oh Lori, they are great and typically your style: a lot of happiness shines through!
Greetings fom Austria, Michi
Many thanks to you both!
lol, I made my first ones on copper wire last night thinking.. surely nobody makes these. Yours are awesome!
I've been making silver headpins directly on fine silver wire, but I can definitely see the advantage of making a fancier headpin bead on a mandrel! Your headpins turned out very lovely!
Beautiful and unique! Well done! :)
