Instructions:
- Place the 8mm and 6mm bead onto the headpin and make a loop leaving 1/8" of play in the beads.
- Wrap the center of each wire once around the headpin between the beads.
- Add 4 bugle beads and one seed bead to one of the legs, then thread the end of the wire back through the last bugle bead (skip the seed bead).
