Step 2: Make the first looped fringe.
1st, slide the desired length of beads onto the wire;
2nd, pass the wire back through the next bead in the original beadwork;
3rd, continue to pass the wire through the adjacent bead;
4th, pull the wire tightly.
Step 3: Make other looped fringes.
1st, slide beads onto the wire;
2nd, pass the wire through the next bead in the original beadwork;
3rd, repeat the above two steps until you get the desired length of looped fringe;
4th, pass the wire back through the upper bead.
Step 4: Make another row of looped fringe.
1st, pass the wire through the next bead in the upper row;
2nd, slide desired length beads in the color you want;
