The beauty of this project lies in its versatility. You can mix and match a vibrant mix of colors, create a simple monochromatic strand, or create an intricate pattern of beads – it’s all up to you.

Let’s talk materials. You’ll need an assortment of beads, crimp beads, a trusty waxed cord, a ruler or tape measurer, scissors, and some jewelry-making pliers. These simple tools are all it takes to create something truly special. And here’s the best part: no fiddly clasps or closures required!
Easy DIY Beaded Wrap Necklace:
Materials:
- Assorted Beads
- Crimp Beads
- Waxed Cord
- Ruler or Tape Measurer
- Scissors
- Jewelry Making Pliers
Step-by-step Instructions:
1. Begin by selecting your beads and dreaming up a pattern that speaks to your unique taste. This is where your creativity can really shine. Consider adding gold or silver spacer beads, or create a unique pattern.
2. Determine the desired length of your necklace, then add an extra 4 inches to that measurement. Cut your waxed cord to this length. This ensures you have enough room to play with the design and secure the ends later on. Keep in mind, this necklace is essentially one long strand of beads that will need to be folded in half and tied in a knot or looped in the front to create a lariat style.
3. Start beading. Securing one end of the waxed cord with a binder clip can be a game-changer, keeping those beads in place as you work your magic. Adding some heavier beads or decorative ones at the ends gives the necklace a beautiful drape and finish.
4. Once satisfied with your beaded masterpiece, finish each end with a secure double knot. Cover these knots with crimp beads for a polished look. Simply slide a crimp bead over the knot and gently clamp it down with your sewing pliers. And just like that, you’ve now created a piece of wearable art.
Whether you’re crafting for yourself or creating gifts for someone special, this necklace is sure to add a statement to any look. It’s the perfect handmade gift idea for holidays, birthdays, or even as a thoughtful token for a bachelorette or bridal party. Each piece you make is a product of your creativity.
So gather your materials, tap into those inspired vibes, and let the crafting begin.
