Howdee doo da! I come to you guys with yet another tutorial. This is a wire chain beading tutorial for making jewelry like how I made my necklace. My favorite necklaces and chokers from Angelic Pretty and Baby the Stars Shine Bright were all made by chain beading, but because I have little to no knowledge about jewelry making, it took me just about three years to comprehend how the technique is done. Once you know how, it’s super easy!

•  First, let’s start of with materials. The basic things you should have are wire, pliers, and beads. I am asked often about where my beads are from. I buy all of my pearl beads from Michaels craft stores. I buy Crystazzi brand ones in the 6mm size.

• Choose what wire color you want to go with for your project. use your pliers to cut a length of wire. It should be long enough to fit your bead and make two loops.

•  Take your needle nose pliers and wrap the bottom of your wire to make a little loop.

• Now thread your first bead in

• Determine a good length for another loop, and cut off the excess

• Loop the other side, and now you have the general idea!

• Here’s where the chaining comes in. To continue your chain, repeat what you just did by cutting another length of wire and making a loop at the bottom. This time, allow your loop to connect with the loop of your first piece.

• Tadaa! Just like that. After you get the hang of it, just keep going until you reach your desired length.

• Here’s the final piece!

• Remember that you’re not limited in your creativity! Your beads can be different colors, different shapes, and different sizes. For added fun, you can link charms into your piece also!
