Instructions

  1. Please watch our video: How to Use Memory Wire Glue In Ends. From what you learned in the video, string on one 8mm blue bead, add glue and then add one end cap. Press them together to secure the end. Allow to dry.
  2. Then to the other end string on two 8mm blue beads, three 6mm amethyst beads, three 8mm silver beads, and three 6mm purple/blue beads. Then repeat the pattern of three beads of each color in the same order 5 times and then add two 8mm blue beads.
  3. Finally trim the end of the memory wire with the memory wire cutters so you have about 1/4 inch. Carefully add a dab of glue to the end, add one more 8mm blue bead and add a memory wire end. You may need to hold it in place for a few minutes for the bond to take. But be sure to let dry for 24 hours for maximum bond.
Note: For helpful sizing tips please watch our video: How to Choose the Right Size of Round Memory Wire for Your Design.
