Zap-a-Gap Glue (#49088) Qty:
Directions:
 Starting
with about 1 ¾ loops of necklace memory wire, glue one end cap to
one end, and let cure for a few minutes. Start with an 8mm Aqua Round,
Heishi, Hyacinth Crystal, Heishi, 6mm Aqua Round, Heishi, Hyacinth Crystal,
Heishi, 8mm Aqua Round, and Mercury Bead. Repeat this sequence 7
more times, leaving the Mercury Bead off the last sequence. Using
needle nose pliers, hold the memory wire as close to the last 8mm Aqua
Round as possible. Cut the excess memory wire off leaving about 1/8
of an inch of exposed memory wire to dab a bit of glue on to.
Add the end cap and hold securely for a minute or two until the glue sets.
It is best if you let the glue cure for a few minutes longer before putting
the necklace on. You'll have fun making these adjustable necklaces that
fit just about anyone and can be made out of so many different beads.
Enjoy!
