I am new at beading and want to know if someone can help me decide how much wire I need to make a necklace?

This will give you an idea of length, depending on how you want the necklace to hang:

Also, when I string a necklace, I don't cut the wire off the spool and then string. I just string it right on the spool. That way, you are not wasting a lot of wire.
Good luck!

add about 3 inches to the length you want your necklace. if the beads are very large you might need to make your necklace longer. happy beading to you!!!

The standard method is to use the length of your arm.
