Beads Necklace using Tiger Tail Wires


I always love purple and today I decided to make a necklace using tiger tail wire with some purple beads.

Measure the tiger tail wire round your neck to get the length you want and cut it. As I am making two strands of wire, I double the length round my neck.

I fold the wire into half and seep the folded wire into a crimp bead (use a plier to squeeze the crimp bead) and then I seep them into a clam shell (any designs). Closed tight the clam shell.

Clam shell, jump ring, clasp.

I then joined the clam shell (with the tiger tail hooked to it), jump ring and clasp.

I then use both the wires to string into one seed bead, then I use one part of the wire to string three purple beads and the other wire I string one white bead. Then I used both the wires to string another seed bead.

Repeat the same pattern till almost to the end of the wires.

To finish off the necklace, I string both wires into the clam shell and the crimp bead (use the plier to squeeze tight the crimp bead). Then I joined the end of the crimp cover to another jump ring.

Next I tried to loop the excess tiger tail wire back into the crimp cover and hide the excess into other beads. Cut any loose end of the wire.

The final product and a very satisifed me. :) I hope the above instructions are very clear to you all.
