To make an end dangle, thread an emerald green 9x5mm Czech fire-polished glass rondelle bead onto a 24-gauge 1.5-inch silver-plated head pin with a ball. Finish it with a simple loop  that overlaps by about 2mm, for security. 


Repeat five times so you have six dangles. Attach three to the loop in the end of the memory wire and set the remaining three aside.
