Materials:
- Beading Wire (preferably Nylon Coated)
- Your choice of main beads
- Crimping beads
- Wire cutter
- Crimper tool
Instructions:
Step 1: Gather your supplies
Step 2: Cut equal lengths of beading wire for how many stitch markers you want to make. I cut 3.5" (around 9 cms). You can cut shorter or longer depending on the drop you want.
Step 3: Take one piece of beading wire and fold it in half (don't hard bend the curved end) to feed in a crimping bead, followed by your desired main bead/s, followed by another crimping bead
Step 4: Using the crimping tool, crimp the last crimp bead put in, right at the edge of the folder wire
Step 5: Push all the other beads towards the crimped bead and crimp the first crimp bead to lock everything in place
That's all you need to do and you are done.
Here are some of mine.
