Repeat Step 3:
- Make a twist structure with round nose plier (fig. 4a, 4b, 4c).
- Slide in a third bead and anchor the wire on bottom frame (fig. 4d, 4e, 4f, 4g, 4h).
- Pull the wire along the side of the bead and make a second anchor on the top frame (fig. 4i, 4j, 4k).
Step 5 of 15
Instead of making two anchors, you only have to anchor once for this step.
So, make a twist structure with round nose plier from the free wire end (fig. 5a, 5b).
Slide in the fourth bead and anchor the wire on top frame (fig. 5c, 5d, 5e).
Complete the design by cutting off the excess wire with a wire cutter (fig. 5f).
