Three Strand Choker - Black
You Will Need:
Cut three strands of wire 18-inch long. Cut the pieces longer if you want a necklace longer than a choker.
Thread all three strands of wire through a crimp bead, then through the clasp, then back through the crimp bead. Squash the crimp bead using a small pair of pliers, so that all the wires are held firmly in pace.
String 2 rocaille beads and a bugle bead for 16 inches onto two of the wires. A piece of masking tape can be placed at the end of the finished strand to hold the beads onto the wire while you complete the other strands.
For the third strand string 2-inch of seed and bugle beads. String on one medium sized glass bead. Repeat until the strand is 16-inch.
Thread the ends of all three wires through a crimp bead. Hold all three strands at both ends and twist one end until the strands are all intertwined.
Without letting the strands unwind thread the ends through the clasp then back through the crimp bead. Squash the crimp bead using a small pair of pliers, so that all the wires are held firmly in pace.
Trim off any excess wire.
