1.Cut 6 inches of wire and thread through your glass bead keeping the glass beads centered on the wire.

2.Place the glass bead into the center of the brass coil wreath and secure the bead in place by wrapping the wire around the back of the coil pulling tight so the bead is fastened.

4. Take the wire and wrap around a coil in back several turns. Do this on each side of the bead. Once it feels fastened in place, trim the wire close and roll any stray piece toward the center and tamp down lightly.

Experiment with some fun colors. Opaque spring colors would look great in this design.

This project could easily be made into a pendant for a necklace. At ohiobeads we have these coils in three sizes. You can check them out here.
