Form a loop at the top and cut off any remaining wire. Step 2: Cut 3/4" off the wire. String the bow bead onto the center of the wire, and form a loop at the top of the bow. Lope the bottom piece of wire through the loop at the top of the 5500 beaded headpin, and form a loop. Cut off remaining wire and set aside. Step 3: String onto remaining wire: one Swarovski Bead 5000 Siam and three Swarovski 6301 Fern Green. Repeat pattern three times. Add one Swarovski 5000 Siam, and the bow dangle made in steps 1 and 2 above. Then repeat pattern above four times, ending with one Swarovski 5000 Siam. Step 4: Form beaded wire into a loop, keeping beads in the center of the wire with equal amounts of bare wire on both ends. Step 5: Twist wire ends around each other once. Bring one wire end straight up about 1/4" and form a medium size loop at top. Step 6: Wrap the wire from the other side around the 1/4" of straight wire only going as far up as the small loop on top. Cut off any remaining wire. Press wire ends in using flat not pliers. Step 7: String linked chain through the loop at top of wreath. Step 8: Add jump ring to both ends of chain and attach lobster clasp to one of the jump rings. |
