  3. Thread a 4mm crystal clear Czech fire polish round bead, a rhodium plated classic bead aligner, a black Murano style glass lampwork bead with white dots, another bead aligner, and another fire polish bead onto a 2", 22 gauge silver plated head pin.
  4. Create a wrapped wire loop after the last fire polish bead.
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
  6. Use a 4mm, 21 gauge silver plated jump ring to hang one beaded piece from one of the ribbon crimps. Repeat with the other beaded piece on the other end of the ribbon.
