Use Memory Wire To Construct A Cool Beaded Collar
Memory wire is a great material. It comes in different sizes so you can make beautiful jewelry without having to fiddle with extra findings.
You will need the following tools and materials to make your memory wire collar necklace.
1: Pliers. You will need your cutting pliers and round nose pliers.
You can get jewelry pliers here:
2: Necklace length memory wire.
3: Beads of your choice. I used these citrine gemstone beads, frosted blue e-beads and blue glass seed beads.
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.
