How to Make a Floating Illusion Necklace - Jewelry-making Tutorial

This style of necklace is one of my absolute favorites. So simple and elegant!

The beads on the necklace look as if they are "floating" because the wire is hard to see. Crimp beads are used as "stoppers" so the floating beads will stay in place.

I was first introduced to this necklace style by this website: beadage.net/projects/illusion.shtml Thank you, Emma!

Materials list:
- Beading board (if you do not have one of these then a ruler would be sufficient)
- Beading wire (I used Accu-flex .019" size)
- Crimp beads (I used twenty-four 1.5mm round)
- Crimp covers (I used 3mm)
- Some beads (I used eleven 8mm beads)
- Clasp (I used a barrel clasp)
- Wire cutters
- Crimping pliers (or flat-nose pliers)

Sources for materials:
Beading wire, crimp beads, crimp covers, and beads are from firemountain.com. Clasp from nasco.com.
