To complete the structural design, finish off by making 4 loops on the middle-left point of the secondary wire frame (fig. 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d, 16e, 16f, 16g, 16h, 16i)

Step 17 of 20
Tidy up the completed structural design by trimming out the excess wire so it wouldn’t scratch your clothes (fig. 17a, 17b, 17c, 17d, 17e).
Use a triangle diamond needle files to smoothen the sharp end of the trimmed wire (fig. 17f, 17g, 17h).
Step 18 of 20
We are now at the second last part of the design.
Well done for making it this far into the tutorial! Your hard work is paying off.
At the bail area, take the lower loose 22-gauge wire from the wire frame and wrap thick coils around the bail neck (fig. 18a, 18b, 18c).
Then, leave two inches of wire before trimming the excess (fig. 18d, 18e).
Moving on, use a stepped bail-making pliers to make a small vine design as shown (fig. 18f, 18g).
