Materials

Memory wire with a diameter of 5 cm; 4 mm rings; earring hooks; a fine chain (10 links – 2.6 cm)

Step 2

Make an eye on one end of the wire. Twist it so that it lies horizontally. Grasp the wire firmly between the round points of the pliers. Patiently twist it around the point. Finish the twisting process. Carefully twist the wire at the neck. If necessary, adjust it using the flat-nose pliers.

Step 6

String 3x R1.

Step 7

String 6x R6, 9x R8 and 18x R10 in the opposite order.

Step 8

Shorten the wire to about 8 mm. Patiently and carefully make another eye in the same way as in Step 2. Be careful that the R10 don't slide. You need the eyes you have created to lie next to one another. You can modify the shape of the circle (gently bend and press it). If this is not successful, you have to add the ideal number of R10 to all the circles. Finish shaping the eyes with the flat-nose pliers at the end.

Step 12

String one of the eyes from the dark purple circle, the free link of the chain from the pink circle, the second eye from the dark purple circle and a link of a new chain onto a ring. Close the ring.

Step 13

Connect the light purple circle in the same way. The only difference is that you should add an earring hook instead of a new chain link.

Step 14
