STEPS
TOOLS

Here are the materials that I'm using

Next measure of about two and a half feet of wire to work with

Add the beads to the center of your wire

Wrap the wire around the ring mandrel

Turn around to the back

Take one side of the wire and wrap it around the mandrel until it looks like this ⬆️

Do the same on the other side

Now turn back to the front

Wrap one side of the wire around the center bead and back to its original spot

Do the same with the other side

Now start wrapping the wire around the beads

Once your satisfied with how many times you've wrapped the wire and have leftover wire then you can slide the ring of the mandrel

Start wrapping the extra wire around the "base" wire

Use your pliers to tighten the coils

Now press the coils as close together as possible

Now cut of the extra and tuck the nub to the backside of the ring

Repeat this process with the other side

Now side the ring back on the ring mandrel and it should be 1-2 sizes smaller depending on how many coils you made.

And your done
- 20 gauge wire
- Wire cutter
- Needle nose pliers
- 3 (or 4) round beads
- ring mandrel (something the size of your finger)
- Round nose pliers
