Single Strand Necklace

Take one end of the wire thru a crimp, then thru the loop on the clasp (or, in this case the jump ring), then back thru the crimp.
Snug up the crimp and gently squeeze down with a chain nose pliers.
String on a couple of beads. Then trim off your tail with wire nippers. (Helpful hint: look thru your beads for the biggest hole to go over the two wires!)
String on all your beads. (Remember to keep in mind weight distribution so that your necklace will hang evenly.)
You’re going to finish the same way you started - by putting on a crimp bead, then the clasp or jump ring, and back thru the crimp.
Snug up the crimp bead and beads and gently squeeze down with a chain nose pliers.
Trim off excess wire with your wire nippers.
If using a “S” clasp, hook one ring on the “S” and gently squeeze down till it’s touching.
Use the other half of the “S” clasp to hook and unhook the other ring.
Your necklace is now ready to wear!
