Gather your materials.
Cut 6 x 8” lengths of Beading Wire.
String a Size 2 Crimp Tube on one end of Wire and loop the Wire around the crimp and back through it.
Crimp the crimp tube.
Snip the short end of the Wire flush with the Crimp Tube. Repeat to add a Crimp Tube to the end of all of the Wires.
Using the Size 1 Crimp Tubes, crimp the 6mm beads in place on the wire following a random or symmetrical pattern.
Add beads to all of the Wires in the same way. Finish the ends of the Wires by making a loop around a Crimp Tube and Crimping it in place. Snip off the excess wire. Make sure that all of your Wires end up about the same length.
Slip one end of each of the crimped Wires into one of the Tubes.
Fold down the flap with a Chain Nose Pliers to secure. Slip the other Wire ends into the other side of the Tube Clasp and fold down the other flap to secure.
Tip: Push the flap against a hard surface to lock it into place.
