Any Beaders here? I bought some lampwork sqirrels intending to

hang them on a necklace as pendants. The problem it that the hole runs vertically head to tail and is too wide for a head pin. I'm afraid if i use a cap bead to secure the head pin, it will look like the squirrel is, well, pooping. Any ideas? Anyone ever use glue to secure the head pin inside the bead?

1. Would this help?

If you use an copper bead cap and a wooden bead, it would look like the squirrel is standing on an acorn.

3. I searched the internet.

There are actually beads that look like acorns, so you might not have to assemble one.

4. An alternative I have used

Cut the head off the head pin and make a loop by twisting the pin two or three times around your round nose pliers. The loop will hold the bead in place, and you can then attach another bead with a jump ring.
