Actually I didn't add wire. I thought about it after I wrapped the pink around it and then added the beads...thought it would be too heavy but it worked out okay. I did notice however that sewing all the yoyo's on it at the base of the handle did seem to strengthen them. Also, the beads DO have light wt. jewelers wire strung through them. (the kind you use to make necklaces).
