Finish the Ends

5. Fill up the rest of the wire with your main color of beads.

6. Finish the necklace with another loop as described in step 2.

Here is a choker I made using the same technique only I used pink iridescent seed beads and accented the wire about every 1.5 inches with pink Czech crystals. This way the design goes all around the wire.

I’ve worn these chokers a few times and found they feel a little tight at first. However, just as with the bracelet wire, the necklace wire starts to relax after you wear it a few times and conforms to your neck. I think these would makes nice gifts, especially for the teenager on your list. If you do any shows, these would make a good trendy, impulse purchase item to add to your table. (You could also make matching memory wire bracelets.)
