Hi, I'm Rachel for Expert Village. Now I'm going to show you how to make the beads. I'm going to take the metal string and I'm going to cut it almost make it shorter. Basically I'm going to put beads in. I'm just going to twist it a few times. Then you can put a bigger size one by one. There is another one and then maybe I would make a space between them. Don't want them to get too close. Basically just fold up the ring and twist it once and let it go through. You don't want too many beads, you just want a few around, then I'm going to go to the other side and continue to do it here. This one has a little space here I don't want so much. You can see that I'm twisting it too, it is going to look pretty on the box and I would continue to put beads in. I would put one over here and then we are finished. This would go through one more time so it will not get loose. Here is our little decoration for our piggy bank.
