I'm thinking of making those little safety pin beaded things for some Valentines and I got the instructions from a site in the memories, http://familycrafts.about.com/cs/beadedsafetypins/l/blspinhrt.htm
but I dont understand the final step.

Now you are ready to put all the beaded pins onto a larger safety pin. Open the large safety pin (the size you need will be stated in the pattern). Use the flat-head screwdriver to slightly pry apart the coils at the end of the large pin.
Slip the loop of the first beaded safety pin onto the large one.
Pull it down to the loop at the base of the large pin. Pull it around the loop and up the back-side of the pin. Repeat this for each beaded safety pin.


Does anyone have a photo of this or could explain it to me? I dont understand the purpose of putting the pins onto the larger one as opposed to threading them onto string. Any help, thanks
