Ghost Beaded Pin

We will be making this cute pin next week. I think I need to find an easier craft for the younger kids.

Ghost Beaded Pin
Materials Needed:
11 - 1 1/16 inches Safety Pins
1 - 1 3/4 inch Safety Pin
Seed Beads (refer to picture for colors needed)
Instructions:
Follow this pattern and the basic directions on the safety pin jewelry page to complete this project.

Each number column represents a pin; for example, your first pin will have 10 black beads. Your second pin will have 2 black beads, 3 white beads, and then 5 more black beads. When you thread these beaded pins onto your larger pin, start with pin number 1.

I learned the hard way that you need to do this upside down. LOL
