Beadalon® Crinkle wire is permanently wavy and can be used to add lots of texture to beaded designs. The special manufacturing process that's used to make Crinkle wire allows the wire to have the same flexibility and break strength as regular 7-strand beading wire.

Crinkle wire comes in a variety of finishes, including the standard bright color, silver color, gold color, satin silver, satin gold and satin copper. It's perfect for exposed wire designs – you get a little bit of extra texture with your color!

You can use Crinkle wire to create a new spin on the illusion look – the wavy wire adds texture between the beaded sections. You can also cover the wire with seed beads for a subtler crinkled look.

For an easy pair of earrings, simply fold and crimp each end of a piece of Crinkle wire, then attach it to an ear wire. Add a dangle to the center of the Crinkle wire loop. Voila!
