Simple Wire Necklace





















This is a very simple necklace to make.



















Items needed are :


Jewelry pliers
Beads of your choice
Soft flex beading wire
Crimps (gold or silver)
Wire Cutting tool



First you are going to take your crimp and place that on the wire. Next you will add your beads of choice. Then you place a second crimp at the end of your beads.
After adding your beads and crimps, use your jewelry pliers to press the crimp tight against the wire.


You can space your beads and crimps as far away from each other as you choose. As you see in the first picture, I have spaced them about 2 inches apart. It is really up to you.




When you are done placing your beads on the wire, you are now ready to add your clasp. Place a crimp on the wire first. Next place your clasp on the wire. Then you make a loop in your wire and place the end of the wire through the crimp. Press your crimp tight against the wire. This will make a secure loop for your clasp.





On the other end of your wire, place a crimp on the wire and make a loop. Place that wire through the crimp. Press the crimp tight against the wire to secure your loop.
Ok, now your simple necklace is finished.
