Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Slide a recycled glass round onto an 8" piece of 24 gauge wire. |
|
Step 2: Bend the wire upwards around the top of the bead. Use round nose pliers to gently twist the wire a couple of times. |
|
Step 3: Slide a rhodochrosite chip onto the wire. |
|
Step 4: Separate the two pieces of wire. |
|
Step 5: Slide another recycled glass bead onto one the left strand of wire. Push the right strand through the bead, so both wire strands are pointing in the opposite direction. |
|
Step 6: Gently pull both pieces of wire until the bead is right on top of the rhodochrosite chip. |
|
Step 7: Using round nose pliers, twist the strands wire together. |
|
Step 8: Use the round nose pliers to make a loop at the top. Trim off the excess wire. |
|
Step 9: Use a jump ring to attach the bead charm to the wire frame. Slide the loop at the top of the frame onto an earwire. |
