Loop and Adding Charm
Cut the memory wire to three rounds plus 3cm.
Make a loop facing towards the centre in the end of the wire.
If you don’t know how to make a basic loop please watch this video .
Open the loop and add the charm. Close the loop.
Adding the Beads
Add the beads following the layout diagram below. The colours of the striped beads should be random, however the same colour beads should not be placed next to each other.
Continue adding the beads until you can’t fit another run, finishing with the 5mm Rondelle.
Next add one more Square Round Bead.
Ensure all the beads are pushed right down to the end of the wire and there are no gaps.
Trimming the Wire
Hold the beads between your finger and thumb to ensure they don’t fall off and cut the wire to about 1cm longer than the beads. Ensure you hold the end of the wire as well to stop it flying away.
Making the Final Loop
Hold the beads on with your thumb and forefinger to stop them sliding off. This can be a little tricky.
Make a loop in the remaining wire.
That’s all there is to it.
