1. Cut four pieces of Beadalon wire to 26 inches.
For the Right Hand Side of the Necklace:
2. Put approximately 30 seed beads (cut the twister bead strand and put seed beads in a small bag or bowl) on each strand of wire. Remember to use a bead stopper on the strands you are NOT working on to keep the beads in place.
3. Bring the beads to the center of the wire.
4. Put both wires through the donut bead. Center the donut on the wires and wrap the beads around the donut making sure every thing is centered. i.e. Donut in the center of the wire and seed beads in the center of the wire also. You’ll now essentially be working with four strands of wire.
