Aqua and Maize Choker  
Use two hole beads and memory wire to create this colorful and unique choker necklace.  We only carry these flowers in aqua, but feel free to pick a different color of seed bead if maize isn't your favorite color or you're going for a different mood. 
 

Materials:  
1 pkg Two Hole Aqua Flowers (#15401) Qty:  
1 pkg Aqua Druks, 4mm (#22034) Qty:  
1 pkg Japanese TR MT Maize AB (#J-754) Qty:  
1 pkg Japanese LND Clear/Sky Blue (#J-778) Qty:  
1 pkg 1.5" Thin silver plated head pins, 24 gauge. (#50582) Qty:  
1 pkg Remembrance Necklace Wire  (#49038) Qty: 

Directions: 
Cut 2 lengths of memory wire, each 13 inches.  Using a flat nose pliers, make a loop at the end of each wire. Start stringing 9 Maize Seed Beads, 3 Sky Blue Seed Beads and another 9 Maize Seed Beads.  String a Blue Flower, repeat the pattern until you get to the second Blue Flower. String through the other flower hole. (The blue flowers have one hole longer than the other so we will be alternating the stringing through the holes to come up with the same length at the end, VERY IMPORTANT). After stringing the pattern and 4 more flowers, you finish the first wire with 9 maize beads, 3 sky blue and 9 maize beads, and make a loop at the end of the wire.

Then you start the second wire stringing 9 Maize Seed Beads, 3 Sky Blue Seed Beads , 9 Maize Seed Beads, then push the wire through the first flower , keep stringing the japanese beads and pushing the wire through every flower finish with the seed beads and make a loop at the end of the wire.

Now for the finishing touch, get a headpin and string a 4mm blue round, then push through one of the loops you made in the memory wire, string another 4mm bead, push it through the second loop at the same end, then string another bead and finally cut whatever is left from the headpin leaving enough to bend it and finish that end. Repeat the same process with the other end of the choker, and you got it!
