To get started lay out the beads you want like I did in the photo with the bead board. Then string them out on your wire or what ever you are using to string them.
Then put the crimping bead as your last bead on your necklace.
Then put your toggle or clasp on after your crimping bead.
Bring the wire around the clasp and put your wire back through the crimping bead.
Crimp the crimping bead with your plyers snug against the clasp.
Then press down on the crimping bead to make flat. When you do so the crimping bead should not move.
Go to the other side and cut your wire from your spool of wire and repeat the steps above.
WHen your wire is back through your crimping bead pull the wire to make sure the beads are not loose between both clasps. When you have the tightness you want. Crimp the crimping bead
You will have access wire. Cut a bit off and then put the excess wire back in the beads so it is hiding. If leave your wire out it will pock you when you are wearing the necklace.
And that is how you make a simple bead necklace!!!
