"Today we're going to learn how to make an interesting kind of necklace with telephone wire. This isn't the kind of wire that's in your typical telephone jack. This is actually the big telephone wire that's outside. You'll see there'll be a series of wires, probably about 50, that are like this. They'll be about this long. What you want to do to start is to fold it in half so you have a little loop at the end. Then you just grab a hold of this loop. Just pinch it between your hand and then use your pointer finger to guide it around. You want it to be really close together so it makes kind of like a coil pattern. You're just going to keep twisting and twisting using one wire that does not move. That's your main wire. You don't change that at all. You just keep twisting and twisting and twisting. Keeping as close as possible. The cool thing about this wire is there's different colors in it. In the end, you end up with something like this that you can turn into a bracelet, a necklace, or even a ring. It looks really cool because it has the different colors already in there. That's how you make a necklace, bracelet, or ring out of telephone wire. "
