Beaded Necklace made with Tigertail, Beadalon or plastic coated wire.  
You will need a piece of wire the length you want your necklace to be plus about 6", 2 crimp beads, clasp of your choice and a selection of beads.

Thread a crimp onto the wire, through the loop on your clasp and back through the crimp.


Push the crimp bead close to the clasp and squeeze the crimp firmly with flat nosed pliers.


Thread on your beads.


After the last bead thread on another crimp, now thread the end of your wire through the loop on the other end of your clasp, back through the crimp bead and through a few beads. Now pull the wire until the crimp is close to the clasp and squeeze the crimp with your pliers. Snip off excess wire with wire cutters.


finished!

Neclaces with multiple strings of beads can be made by using a multi string clasp or attaching more strings to a single clasp.
