Memory wire coils are just simply fun to bead. You can make them elegant or spunky, like this one. I use silver foiled speckle colored lampwork beads with nice large holes and matched them up with different colored pairs of czech firepolished beads. Then I added a silver czech fire polished bead to bring the pattern together. The charm on this along with the colors makes it very spring or summer like.
You’ll need these supplies:
- 3 coils of memory wire
- 15 – 10mm round lampwork beads
- 15 pairs(different colors) of 6mm czech firepolished(30 beads total)
- 30 czech firepolished 4mm clear beads
- 15 silver czech firepolished 6mm
- 1 head pin
- 1 colored 4mm czech firepolished bead
- 1 metal butterfly bead
You’ll need these tools:
- heavy duty wire cutters
- crimping pliers
- round nose pliers
Directions:
1.) Loop one end of your memory wire.
2.) Bead: lampwork bead, 4mm clear czech bead, 6mm colored czech bead, 6mm silver czech bead, 6mm colored czech bead and 4mm clear czech bead. Repeat 14 times.
3.) Make the butterfly drop by beading on the head pin bead butterfly bead and 4mm colored czech bead. Loop and wrap.
4.) Loop the end of the memory wire attaching the butterfly drop.
Enjoy!
