Bead Writing
|
|
|
“Write” names and messages by stringing beads
on a bendable wire. Hang finished pieces in a window,
string on a necklace or around a hat, pin to a
bulletin board or display on a piece of matboard
as a piece of art. When choosing beads, larger
ones need heavier wire and more space.

Procedure
- Write a name or message on a piece of paper and use it as a guide to bend
the wire into written words.
- Bend wire in half for a 36-inch length (you’ll be working on double-thick wire).
Make a twist in the bent end so the beads will not fall off.
- Hold the loose ends together and thread through random colored
Leave 1-1/2" free at the end and twist to hold beads in place.
- Adjust the beads as needed. Any extra length can be used as a flourish at the
end of the word.
