    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare the Memory Wire: Cut the memory wire to about four turns. Use round nose pliers to create a loop at one end.
    Flatten the Wire: Slightly flatten the other end of the wire to facilitate beading.
    Start Beading: Begin adding seed beads in patterns, alternating with metal beads for contrast. Follow a pattern like five seed beads, one metal bead, ten seed beads, etc.
    Continue Beading: Keep adding beads following the pattern until you reach the desired length.
    Finish the Bracelet: Use round nose pliers to create a loop at the end of the wire. Trim any excess wire.
    Attach the Tassel: Open the last loop slightly and attach the tassel.
