STEP 1
 |
|
Insert a piece of wire (20-24 gauge) 5 inches (12.7cm) in length through the hole in the findings form and bend the end (this helps to hold the wire firmly as you bend the wire around the pegs). |
STEP 2
 |
|
Wrap the wire around the large peg (clockwise) then slightly around the thin peg and up (clockwise) around the acrylic form. |
STEP 3
 |
|
Wrap the wire over and down the acrylic form then down the side of the triangle acrylic form then out to the right. |
STEP 4
 |
|
Use the pusher tool on the small peg to tighten the intersection of the wire. |
STEP 5
 |
|
Cut the end of the wire as shown (use a wire rounder on the end of the earwire to smooth out the sharp edges left by the flush-cutter). |
STEP 6
 |
|
Remove the earwire from the findings form and cut the ring so that it forms a complete circle. |
