Hi this Julie with Beadaholique.com and I'm going to show you how to finish
memory wire. So here I have a memory wire bracelet
what's great about it keeps it's shape. You can see it's got this wonderful
coil shape to it
and all you need to do to create a bracelet with it is to finish off the ends
so here is some memory wire without beads
it just has that nice coil shape
I'm going to show you three different ways that you can finish your ends after you've added
all your beads
so the first way and probably the easiest is to just
make a little loop at the end of your memory wire. So I've got some wire
looping pliers here
put the wire in it
and twist around
and we have a loop and that will secure your beads from falling off and
then you have something that you can add a little dangled to
that's one way
another way is with these little crimp beads that have a loop already
attached
I'm going to do that on the other end
so to work with these what you're going to do is
just pop it on there
take your crimping pliers now we're not going to crimp up near the loop because you
run the risk of actually hurting the loop itself
so what you're going to want to do
just crimp down at the bottom
You're just going to crimp down like usual
there you go and that's gonna stay on there securely
so the third and final way I want to show you and this way looks very clean is using
one of these little end caps
it's got a little hole in it
on one side and then it's nice the round ball
to apply these your going to take some GS Hypo cement
put it on the wire itself
take
one of these little guys, find the hole
and press onto place and then we're just gonna let that dry. It's going to dry
solid
So those are three separate options on how you can finish memory wire
it will allow you to make it great piece memory wire jewelry
