How to Make an Attachment Bar with Beads for Wire Jewelry

Now we're going to learn how to make an attachment bar with your beads on it. Down here I have my wire. You're going to cut off a very small portion because we're not going to need a whole lot. Depending on your attachment bar size. I'm not going to make a very large one though. I'm going to cut this off using my all in one pliers. If you don't have all in one pliers, you're going to use separate wire cutters. We're going to grab at the end of the wire and make a loop. You're going to loop it around until your metal part touches the very end. Then you're going to kind of loop with your pliers and straighten this out towards the middle like so. This is going to be straight up. Now, I'm going to grab this little loop and add my beads. I like to do things in 3s, I'm going to put 3 beads on this. A little star and 2 bars. We'll just do 2. Make your loop at the end to close it. You're going to want to straighten that out again. You can connect other bars just like that to make a necklace, earrings, or a bracelet. That's how you make an attachment bar with beads.
