Wavy Gravy Necklace Tutorial

Created by: Polly Nobbs-LaRue

Designer Tips

This simply strung repeating pattern necklace has a finished length of 18"". The wavy disk beads give the design extra dimension and texture.
For step-by-step instructions for stringing with beading cable (aka beading wire), see Beading Cable Technique Sheet (PDF).
To make sure the toggle clasp is easy to operate, use at least 3 small beads at each end of the necklace.
Firmly flatten the crimp tube with non-serrated flat-nose pliers.
