Elegant Towel Holders

Supplies:

One yard of memory wire
Approximately 1 1/4 –inch-diameter tube,
such as a plastic camera film holder or spice container
Needle-nose pliers
Assorted beads


Directions:

1. Using the needle-nose pliers, twist one end of the wire to form a closed loop.
2. String beads from the opposite end of the wire.
3. To make a towel holder with dangling, charm like beads that lay on the front of the towel (similar to the one in our picture), put your desired beads as the first and last beads.
4. Use alternate colors and sizes of beads to strip onto the wire for a varied pattern that can be repeated. Or string as desired.
5. String beads until you have four or five coils strung.
After the last bead is on, use the needle-nose pliers, twisting the wire to form another closed loop. Cut off the excess wire
