A little bit of glue

N.B. the T Pin must have its head downward

Insert the metal washer and the bead on the T pin in this order. The metal washer in the middle must be, like the one on the bottom part, covered with a bit of glue.

Finally, it's show time for the round pincers. Once you pushed the bead all down, firmly pick the thing on the top and bend it as in the figure. You can fix the position of the bead after, so you don't have to care about it.

There's no photo for this, but you have to grab the T pin with the flat pincers and bend the pin on the shape of the round pincers' tip. To work easily on the T pin, I've chosen a quite long one, so I could bend it as I wanted, without ruining the pin.

Change the position of the round pincers again...

Bend the pin following the shape of the tip of the round pincers.

Bend the pin following the shape of the tip of the round pincers.

Bend the pin two times around the vertical fulcrum.

Bend so that you can't see the fulcrum in the middle, then cut off the remaining part with the nippers and it's complete. This is one of technique to make accessories, it's called "megane tome". I probably didn't explain this passage very well, because I'm good at this and I've been too overconfident, so please check it out googling "めがね留め"　or "メガネ留め". I don't know what "megane tome" means. Something like "glasses joint", perhaps?
