Instructions

Separate the memory wire and with the flush cutters and cut the wire so that there is approximately three ring lengths.

With the round nose pliers grasp one of the ends of the memory wire and roll to form a loop. This loop will prevent the beads from slipping off the wire.

From the other end of the wire thread the beads on creating an attractive pattern. Continue to do this until about 15mm (½ inch) from the end. With the round nose pliers grasp the end of the wire and create a loop, this will hold the beads in place.

Optional

Attach the crystal drop pendant to the napkin ring.



To do this hold a pair of pliers in each hand, grasping the jump ring on either side of the join. Gently bring one pair of pliers toward you and push the other one away. Thread the crystal pendant and one loop of wire onto the ring. Using both pliers reverse the previous action to close the ring.
