So you have decided to try crocheting wire.

These are some useful tips for you to get the jewelry piece you are looking for

1) Wire is very flexible and unlike yarn it will keep its shape if you crochet loosely

2) If you crochet the foundation chain or any chain too tight and cant crochet into it, for this simply take a smaller crochet hook and pull the wire through and put that on your original sized hook.

3) Place all the beads you are working with on the wire before you start and do not cut the wire until the end, this makes sure you have enough wire and also that your beads don't fall off while you are crocheting

4) After you crochet on a bead, it is very beneficial to rearrange it on the jewelry piece, you can even do it at the end of a row.

5) Sometimes it is useful to sketch out how you want the beads on your wire before you start crocheting (this will help with consistently getting the correct amount of beads you need and placement)

6) Ooopppss I messed up my beads! Don't worry you don't have to start over, you simply cut the wire and fix the beads. Make sure you have enough wire to finish your project if you cut it.
