| Whether you are throwing a beach wedding or a summer kid’s party, these guest party favors are sure to be a hit! We found these little pails at a local craft store in the wedding section. They came in a pack of 20. Get creative and mix up the beads that you use. We have an extensive array of Toho seed beads and beautiful lampwork bead strands to choose from. We recommend using one of the Artistic Wire color packs to get a fun variety of colors in the wire so each tin has its own unique character.
Step one: Cut a length of craft wire in a color of your choosing to approximately 14 inches.
Step two: About five inches from one end, string a silver lined blue 6/0 round toho bead, followed by a 14x14 flat round starfish lampwork bead and another Toho. Loop the wire around one of the Tohos and string it back through the hole of the bead. Both ends of the wire should now be coming from the top hole of the beads, creating a dangle.
Step three: Wrap the ends around the tin, centering the beads at the front of the pail. Behind the handle, where it won’t show, make a few twists in the wire to secure it, and trim any excess.
Estimated time: Less than 5 minutes per tin
Difficulty level: Beginner
Approximate cost: Under a dollar each, not including pails. These components will make approximately 25 tins.
