Glue last bead

I would suggest gluing the second-last bead, and holding it tight with pliers, or tweezers, letting it dry, then adding the finial bead. The glue will keep the beads from pushing off the finial bead.

Memory Wire Finishing Technique

Thank you for this tip...this is fantastic! I love to work with memory wire but hate to leave the loops at the end bare naked. Using this tiny bead to close is a great idea. It really cleans up the look of the total project. I never thought of this lol. I could see where it would be hard to cement both ends. But a tiny hanging finishing bead would help do the trick on the second end. Thanks so much for making this video Julie. 😁
