Single-Strand Necklace and Earring Set with Crystal Passions® Beads and Metal Beads

Cut one 26-inch length of Accu-Flex® professional-quality beading wire.

String onto the length of beading wire: one crimp and one Accu-Guard™ wire protector. Pass the beading wire back through the crimp. Pull the beading wire so the crimp rests snug against the Accu-Guard leaving approximately 1/4 inch of beading wire on the end. Crimp then trim the excess from the short end of the beading wire. Finish with a crimp cover.
