Start by cutting about 60 centimeters of wire. You can adjust the length of wire you cut depending on how long you want your handle to be.
Thread the wire through a crimp bead, then add a wire protector by threading the wire through both holes. Thread the wire back through the crimp bead and squeeze it tightly against the wire protector. Finally, crimp the bead using crimping pliers.
Place a crimp cap over the crimp bead, then crimp it closed using pliers.
You can then open a jump ring and slide it into the wire protector before closing it.
You can start stringing the beads in the following order.
Here is the order in which to string the beads. Then add the round Lobster Clasps.
You can also make a pink/burgundy version using the silver embellishments.
Or a brown/beige version with gold accents.
