How do I make a Tin Cup necklace?

Easy Bead and Metal Jewelry

If you are interested in starting to make your own jewelry, all you need is some wire (copper or sterling silver are good), some beads and a pair of rosary pliers (have rounded tips and cutters built in). These can be bought at www.firemountaingems.com or any jewelry supplier. Start with your spool of wire, place a bead on it, curl the end of the wire into a loop with the pliers, curve the other end and cut. Bend the wire into ear wires and hooks for a necklace. Now you have what you need to make individual links that can be shaped and assembled in endless ways.
