Learn how to use easy wire working techniques to create this Making Waves Cha Cha necklace in this PotomacBeads tutorial.
Cut about 10 inches of 26ga wire. Using pliers bend the wire into an eye pin, about 3/4 inch from the end. Drop a jump ring onto the wire, then, holding the loop, wrap the tail end around the long piece of wire a few times. Trim the end.
Use this method to create a chain link, attaching beads on head pins as you go. Watch the Making Waves Cha Cha necklace tutorial to learn some tips and tricks from Allie.
Put some beads on headpins to create dangling pieces for your necklace. Attach the headpins to the jump rings in the chain using the pliers. Add a toggle clasp to the ends of the chain.
