Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Wrap a piece of wire around the focal, slide on the beads, and wrap the wire around the other side. Repeat until you reach the top of the focal. In the top layer of beads, slide on 5 crystal points in the center of the beads. |

Step 2: To make the points stay straight, wrap a piece of wire around the wire with the crystal points to the wire below them. |
