  How To Make
       
 

Necklace

  1. Cut four lengths of beading wire. At one end of a length of wire create a loop and secure with a crimp bead, squeezing tight with pliers. Repeat for each length of wire.

  2. Thread and secure another crimp bead a short distance from the original loop.  Arrange clusters of beads and buttons and add them to the wire. Add another crimp bead then leave a space before adding another cluster. Continue until the wire becomes full. Repeat for each strand of wire.

  3. At the end of the length of wire create another loop and secure with a crimp as before. Repeat this for each strand.

  4. Thread the loops at the ends of the four lengths of wire to a clasp. Close the clasp with pliers and check that each of the wires are secure. Take the loops at the other end and secure to the same clasp, checking again that the wires are secure.

Bracelet

  1. Follow instructions for making the necklace, using shorter lengths of beading wire. The thickness of the wire and the number of strands used can be varied.

Earrings

  1. Cut four pieces of wire in varying lengths.

  2. Create a loop at the end of each of the wires as before. Place a button or bead at the other end of each wire and secure with a crimp bead using pliers.

  3. Thread each of the loops onto an earring loop and secure with pliers. Check to make sure each strand is secure.

  4. Repeat the steps to make up a pair of earrings.
