Secondly, proceed to coil the frames with a 26 gauge copper wire.
Make a full coil on one frame and a partial coil with design on the other frame (fig. 2a, 2b).
Then, secure the frames on top of one another by wrapping the bails together in one loop (fig. 2c).
Remember leave a length of 26 gauge copper wire for making the pendant jump ring (fig. 2d).
