Tips & Advice

You can place the charms and beads anywhere you like on the toggle bracelet, as long as they are spread evenly, there doesn’t have to be the exact same links in between each section just enough to place the rest of the charms and beads.

You can also change the simple loop into a wrapped loop, and attach the headpins this way straight onto the links, or make a wrapped loop and attach with a jump ring, this would make the drops slightly longer, so you may want to do some with a loop and some with a wrapped loop, if you are not attaching them straight onto the link.
