As soon as you have chosen your colours, you may additionally want a set of cones, crimps and a clasp set. Choose a craft wire that matches the clasp and cones.

Lay all strands out together with your ‘loop pins’ at either side. Subsequent take your time to securely crimp every strand to the loop at every finish.

Lastly, make a wrapped loop with the wire protruding of every cone. Connect your clasp both on to the wire or by utilizing a leap ring. Strive including an accent bead to the tops of your cones for a little bit added type.
