1. To begin this project, please watch the video: How to Make Wire Loops Correctly. Please also look now at the photos for the placement of the loops you are going to be making in the following steps.
2. Place onto a head pin 1 Austrian crystal 3mm bicone in fuchsia and 1 Czech fire polished 4mm round bead in mustard yellow. Start to create a wrapped wire loop but before you do the wrappings, slip the loop onto the Vintaj Arte Metal filigree at a spot shown in the photo. Complete the wrappings, snip off excess wire with flush cutters, and press any sharp end into the wrappings with chain nose pliers.
3. Repeat the above step 7 more times, attaching the dangles as seen in the photos.
