Attach First Crimp Bead

Note about length and clasp: This necklace is short, so you want it longer, just use a longer pieces of beading wire. Also, double-check the clasp you intend to use for this before you begin. If the piece are soldered closed, then you’ll want to attach the clasp and jump ring to the beading wire before you close the crimp bead.

1. Thread on one crimp bead and one crystal bead onto the beading wire, and then insert the end of the wire back through both beads.

2. Use crimping pliers to close the crimp bead, and use wire cutters to trim off excess beading wire.
