at the end of the section, twist the three ends
of the wire together to form one strand.

Thread the thick strand through a jump ring
and twist back on itself to hold the jump ring
in place.

Using your round nosed pliers, gently twist the
wires between the crystals, making the wire
into abstract zig zag shapes. This will cause
the necklace shrink and become
much shorter.

sTEP 11
Continue making small twists in the wires to
give the necklace a funky abstract shape.
When finished the twisted wire piece should be
approximately 160mm long.

sTEP 12
Cut 2 pieces of memory wire 100 mm long.
Using your round nosed pliers make a loop

on one end of each piece. attach one loop

to the jump ring already on one end of the

twisted wire front piece.

sTEP 13

attach the other loop to the jump ring

already on the other end of the twisted wire

front piece.

sTEP 14

Cut the memory wire to your neck size leaving

an extra 15mm either side for fitting the clasp.

sTEP 15

slide a piece of tubing over the wire ends

and cut so that 15mm of memory wire is

left exposed.

sTEP 16

Twirl another loop on the exposed ends of

the memory wire and attach a jump ring and

parrot clasp to one end. attach a jump ring to

the other end and your twisted wire choker is

ready to wear.
