How to Use the Twist N' Curl

Have you ever used the Twist N' Curl? It is fun and easy to make your own colorful beads!

Pictured below are the two Twist N' Curl's that come in the Mini set. There is also a regular set. The smaller the dowel, the smaller the coil that you will make. You can also control the size of the coil by choosing thicker or thinner Soft Flex Art Wire.

First, you will create the outside coil. I used 24g Soft Flex Art Wire on the thicker of the two Mini Twist N' Curl's. Anchor the wire onto the Twist N' Curl.

And start to spin. If you hold the wire onto the dowel with your pointer finger and thumb, you can twist the handle with your free hand and make a coil pretty quickly. When the coil gets to its desired length, you can remove it from the Twist N' Curl.

And start your base coil. I used 20g Soft Flex Art Wire.

Slide the first coil onto the base wire.

And then coil the coil.

And finish off your bead!

Tah - da!

Now, we are going to string these beads up with some Amethyst chips and purple amethyst Soft Flex® flexible beading wire!

And a day later, here is the final result....
