1. At one end of the memory wire, make a simple wire loop using your round nose pliers.
2. String on in this order: 1 gold bead, 3 tortoise beads. You will repeat this pattern 32 times, and finish with one additional gold bead.
3. Using your memory wire cutters, trim the end of the wire. Leave enough room to make a simple wire loop at this end, same as you did on the other end of the wire.
4. All done!
