| 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! |
