How to Make a Wire Jewelry Tiger Tail Necklace

Today we're going to learn how to make a simple tiger eye necklace using crimping beads and cat eye beads. I already started this a bit. What we're going to do is take our crimping beads to finish this. I'll use this to help out. We're going to start with our crimping bead, which are these tiny little silver type beads that you add to your necklace. I'm not very big on measuring, so I usually use my fingers to measure. This one I used the distance from this line in my thumb to my thumbnail to decide. That way I don't have to worry about measuring tape or any of that technical stuff. I line it up with my thumb and take the crimping bead. You can use your complete flat pliers for this. What you're going to do is just crush that bead down. Now you're just going to add your beads, all 3 of them. 1, 2, and 3. You'll add crimping bead at the end and that makes for a beautiful tiger tail necklace.
