1. Before beginning this project, please watch the video: How to Wire Wrap a Briolette. After you have made your initial wraps, you will want to keep wrapping until you cover the side drilled holes on each briolette.
2. Based upon what you learned in the video, cut a 12 inch piece of artistic wire and wire wrap one of your 13mm x 13mm glass faceted heart cut briolettes in blue chalcedony.
3. Repeat the previous step with 2 other 13mm x 13mm glass faceted heart cut briolettes in blue chalcedony and 4 6mm x 6mm glass faceted heart cut briolettes in blue chalcedony.
4. Cut a 15.5 inch length of chain using your flush cutters.
5. Find the middle link of your cut chain length. Open a 4mm jump ring and link it to one of the large wire wrapped briolettes as well as the middle chain link. Close the jump ring.
6. Count 8 chain links from the middle one and connect a small wire wrapped briolette (using a jump ring) to this chain 8th chain link.
7. Count 8 more chain links from the last one you connected the small briolette to and connect a large wire wrapped briolette (using a jump ring) to this chain 8th chain link.
8. Count 8 more chain links from the last one you connected the large briolette to and connect a small wire wrapped briolette (using a jump ring) to this chain 8th chain link.
