- Please begin by watching the video: How to Create an Easy Wire Spiral around a Bead. In the video you will learn how to wire wrap your sea glass beads. Please make a total of 7 of these beads.
- Next, cut a 2 inch length of beading wire. Create a wrapped wire loop on one end, place a yellow Austrian crystal round bead on the wire, create a wrapped wire loop on the other end and then trim off excess wire. The first part of the video you watched earlier will show you how to make the stand alone wrapped wire loop on your cut length of wire. Make a total of 6 of these.
- Using jump rings to connect your beads, link them together in the following order: 3 yellow beads, 7 sea glass, 3 yellow.
- Connect the end link of your chain to the end yellow bead (with a jump ring). Repeat on the other side of the necklace.
- All done, enjoy!
