May 4, 2007, Newsletter Issue #177: New Fringe Style Necklaces

Tip of the Week

Fringe necklaces are everywhere! Why not try your hand at making your own? Simple and easy to do, you can find everything you need to make these yourself at your local crafts store. All you need to do is get something called memory wire (it looks like a slinky), some beads that suit the style you want to create, some bendable wire the same diameter as your memory wire, and round nose pliers. Using the bendable wire, loop the end to stop the first bead, thread the rest on and make multiples in varied lengths to create your fringe. Loop the other end so you can slip it onto the memory wire that you have cut to length for your neck. Then all you do is add beads, then a fringe piece, more beads, a fringe piece, and on and on until it looks the way you want. Secure the ends of the memory wire by bending it back upon itself or making a decorative swirl or loop. That´s it! A hot new look that is fun to make and fun to wear.
