Cut a 30-inch length of stainless-steel beading wire. Put a bead stopper at the end of the wire, leaving a little bit of a tail. Choose a bead that you can fit the wire through twice and put that bead onto the end. 2. Watch the Funky Eye Glass Lanyard tutorial to follow along with Anna as she shares some tips and tricks with you to create your own unique eyeglass chain. 3. Pick up a crimp bead and 7 seed beads.
