Follow these steps to make your own memory wire necklace:

1: Cut the memory wire to length, make sure there is a bit of overlap on either side so that the necklace will stay on your neck when worn.

2: Begin adding beads. Add the feature beads first so that you can position them in the center of the necklace.

3: Once all the feature beads have been added, continue beading in your desired pattern on one side of the necklace, finishing close to the end of the wire.

4: Use the round nose pliers to bend the wire at a right angle to the beads.

5: Then use the round nose pliers again to create a loop at the end of the necklace and secure the beads in place.

6: repeat steps 3 to 5 on the other side of the necklace.

Once the other end of the necklace is secured your collar is complete! Wear it with pride.

Here is another memory wire collar made with amethyst chip beads and yellow e-beads.
