Materials:

2 keychain rings (make sure one is bigger than the other)
Wire
Head pin or looped ear wire (optional)
2 small beads (make sure they both fit between your two rings)
2 nicely shaped beads
2 teardrop-shaped glass beads or an hourglass charm
Sculpey
Glitter

Instructions:

Using head pins or looped ear wire (or normal wire), attach one of the outer beads (use the nicely shaped ones), to the big keychain, then to a small bead, then to the small ring. If the wire won't turn the small ring, wedge a bit of the sculpey between the parts of the larger ring, to force it apart, just a bit, and allow room for the wire to turn. Repeat on the other side.

Put the jump rings in place by pushing them into the splits of the biggest ring, approximately at 11 and 1 o'clock.

If you are using an hourglass charm, use wire to tie it to the smallest ring. If you are using teardrop-shaped beads, tie them together with a little bit of wire (make sure it's not obvious, as you will have to cover it with Sculpey.

Carefully apply a layer of Sculpey over the keychain rings (fill the splits likewise) and in the space between the smallest ring an the charm or teardrop-shaped beads.

Bake according to the package instructions, then make the final retouches if necessary.

Finish off your timeturner by adding a bit of glitter.
