Insert pin into the sc where the ends of the threads are. The threads will become the antannae. Then slide another bead , the other sc and the third bead onto the pin pushing the sc, bead, sc and last bead against the first bead. Then put a dab of cement on the pin just under the last bead.

Random Quick Tip!

Easy Crochet Necklaces
You can use any decorative crochet braid or rope to make a necklace. Just make the rope, attach a clasp on each end then hang a charm or pendant from the center of it. You may even sew on a few small beads on the rope for an added touch. Or if the holes in the beads are big enough, you could put a few beads on the rope with the larges one in the center. But in order for the crochet rope to show, you may want to put only about 4 large beads on with the charm hanging in the center of them. This would be a good use for gold or silver thread. You could even sell these at craft bazaars.
