Our fifth technique is making wire components using 1/2 drilled freshwater
pearls with special findings and glue. If you can use glue, even the
newest beginner will be able to make jewelry using these findings and glue.
Our free
jewelry making instructions on making jewelry with 1/2 drilled freshwater
pearl beads can be found here.
6. Our sixth technique for making jewelry by
hand involves stretchy thread like elastic or a special bead stringing
thread called
Stretch Magic. Making jewelry with stretch magic involves
threading beads onto stretch magic and then knotting the ends to hold the
beads in place. With Stretch Magic, the last step is gluing the knots
to make certain that the knots don't work loose during wearing. You
can view some Stretch Magic projects and techniques below.
7. Our seventh technique for making jewelry by hand involves using
the Twist 'n' Curl tool to make wire beads and incorporating the wire beads
into jewelry items.
You can view our instructions for making wire beads using the Twist 'n' Curl
here.
You can view additional information on the variety of wire beads here.
Finally, below you can select from 9 different Twist 'n' Curl projects.

Our eighth technique for making jewelry is using
Memory
Wire to make rings, bracelets and necklaces. Memory Wire is
very stiff wire that is shaped to be round in the size of either a ring,
bracelet or a necklace. Memory Wire jewelry is made by stringing beads
onto several turns of the wire and then fixing the ends of the wire so that
the beads won't come off.
Our free instructions for
making jewelry with Memory Wire can be found here. Memory Wire requires a special cutter
because the wire is so hard it will ruin a normal jewelry wire flush cutter.
You can view a memory wire project here.
