Supply List for Snowflake Ornament:

• 30mm 6704 Snowflake Pendant – Crystal AB – Quantity = 1
• 10mm 5810 Pearl – White – Quantity = 1
• 12mm 5810 Pearl – White – Quantity = 1
• 5mm Jump Rings – Silver – Quantity = 2
• 20 Gauge Artistic Wire – Brass Color – Quantity = 3 pieces of 4 inches each, 1 piece that is 5 Inches

Step 1:

Place the long 5 inch wire through the hole of the snowflake pendant,  leaving 1 inch of wire on one side

Step 2:

Crisscross the wires. Be sure to leave enough room so that pendant can still move freely.

Step 3:

Using the short wire, wrap up the long wire (at least twice)

Step 4:

Trim the short wire close to the long wire. 

Step 5:

Using the long piece of wire, make a wire wrapped loop

Step 6:

Using 2 of the 4 inch pieces of wire, make a wire wrapped loop (one wire wrapped loop on each as shown)

Step 7:

Place the 10mm Pearl on one wire wrapped piece and the 12 mm Pearl on the other wire wrapped piece

Step 8:

Finish each piece of wire by making another wrapped wire loop on the other side of each pearl.

Step 9:

Using the jump rings, connect all components (10mm wire wrapped pearl connected to the 12mm wire wrapped pearl which is then connected to the Snowflake pendant

Step 10:

Make a simple loop on the last piece of 4 inch wire

Step 11:

Using something round, form a circle with your wire.  I used a small 1 inch plastic container but you can also use a peg from the WigJig.

Step 12:

Using flat nose pliers, bend the wire 90 degrees leaving an opening of approximately 1 inch

Step 13:

There should be approximately 0.4 inches (or 1 centimetre) of wire left at the bottom.  If not, cut any excess wire.  Now form a simple loop.

Step 14:

Before closing the simple loop, attach to the rest of the ornament.

Your Snowflake Ornament is now complete
