Jewelry Making: Pink & Green Beads on a Hoop

Today I am going to show you how to make a necklace, using memory wire. I decided to have some fun and added spokes to run out from the hoop. When I counted this afterwards, I realized that I now had eight of these and very appropriately dubbed it my spider necklace. I also made a pair of earrings to match it. This is a very quick and easy project that you can finish in no time.

I bought these fun and inexpensive beads and was antsy to use them.

The spikes would be mounted on head pins.

I strung the beads onto the head pins as shown.

I then made a round loop at each end.

My green collection.

My pink collection.

I then cut a piece of memory wire to the desired length.

I looped the one end.

I strung the beads onto the memory wire and looped the other end.

I fixed a length of chain to the ends with jump rings.

I also added a lobster clamp and jump ring to the centre back of the necklace.

The completed necklace alongside the fabric i was making a matching outfit from.

I strung a green and pink set as well as a length of chain to a jump ring.

I slipped the jump ring into a French Hook.

In no time at all, I had this lovely set to boast with.
