Okay, you guys, this one is insanely simple! All you need is the hinge from an old-fashioned wooden clothespin. You know you have one somewhere. Or your mom does. Go get it! Here's what you do:

Instructions

    Twist a clothespin apart to free the hinge.

  2. Small full p1040795

    Stretch the hinge open a bit, and slip a large-hole bead over the two ends of wire.

  3. Small full p1040796

    Let the wires snap back together inside the bead.

  4. Small full p1040814

    String on a cord or chain, and that's a necklace! Doncha love how easy that was? It's fun to string several together for a different effect; make a bunch and play around with different combinations!
