Flat nose pliers

2nd, when the coiling reaches about 4cm, cut off extra wire;
3rd, the coiled bead is done, and repeat to make another one.
Step 2: Add chain fringe
1st, pick a piece of copper wire that measures about 10cm and cut 6 pieces of black chain that measure 4cm;
2nd, wrap its short tail around the long tail after sliding a purple bicone bead on it;
3rd, slide one 4cm chain on and wrap the long tail to finish it;
