Bend the flat or pattern wire flat, keeping the wire flat around the work surface. Hammer smooth wire allow it a surface design texture. Leave smooth spots in which the deposit is going to be placed. Punch or drill an opening in every finish from the wire, departing about 1/2 inch in the finish. Trim the square finishes from the two finishes from the wire to produce a point each and every finish. File the finishes until they're round and smooth without any sharp edges. Glue around the flat back deposits or make use of the bejeweled tool to include deposits based on your design plan.

Weave the chainmail, if you are utilizing it. Attach the 2 chain or chainmail sections either to side from the Crystal Ball Necklace using the jump rings. Attach the clasp having a jump ring to one for reds for that bar and one for reds from the chain for that toggle.
