1. Cut one piece of 4” of German style wire.
2. Place your round nose pliers 2 inches far form one of the ends of the wire and make a loop wrapping only one turn. Do not trim excess wire yet.
3. Use the far tip of round nose pliers to make a small loop following the natural curve of the wire.
4. String largest bead onto wire and then using your index finger to bend it around the outside surface of bead going 2/3rd of the distance between the edges of the bead. Trim excess wire right on little loop at the tip of wire.
5. Make a simple wrapped loop at the opposite end of wire (wrapping it twice) and then wrap it around outside surface of bead, completing the turn wrapping wire back to first loop, going around it twice and then trim excess wire.
Make similar links using 2 medium pearls and set then aside
6. Cut one piece of 5” of German-style wire.
7. Make a wrapped loop 2 inches far of one end of the wire and string a medium pearl onto.

9. Hold the end of the shortest wire(first loop) and wrap it around the outside surface of bead and finish off wrapping it tight around the base of opposite loop. Go around a full turn and then trim excess wire.
