1. Cut 20cm of 0.8wire & straighten with fingers or nylon pliers
2. Bend wire to 90°, 5cm from end (tail).
3. Using oval object or mandrel about 27cms, wrap the wire around with the tail at one end.
4. Wrap wire around tail base x3.
5. Using either chain nose pliers or ring bending pliers, create a point at the other end to the tail, slightly to one side
6. Bring longer wire to the front and gently curve downwards.
7. Wrap over the point once, cutting excess and smoothing down, one side of leaf should be smaller than the other.
8. Cut long length of 0.31mm wire and starting at the top of the leaf at the tail end, on the wider side, start wrapping a few times over top of wire until enough space to add beads.
9. String on enough beads to fill the gap from edge to centre.
10. Wrap the wire once around the centre wire, over the top.
11. String enough beads on the wire to fit in the gap between the centre wire and the other side of the leaf.
12. Wrap around the edge of the leaf x3.
13. Pass the wire back through and wrap around the centre wire.
14. Pass through the beads on the larger side, under the edge.
15. Wrap wire enough to create enough space for another row.
16. Repeat above steps until the whole leaf is full (there may be a gap at the bottom on either just the narrower side or both).
17. Wrap wire around a few times, cut excess and smooth.
18. For the smaller leaf, repeat using a smaller part of a mandrel.
19. Bend tail to 90° on smaller leaf.
20. Lay leaf on top of larger leaf and wrap the small leaf’s tail around the larger one at the top on the larger leaf x3, cut excess.
21. Bend tail on larger leaf to 90° and create a closed loop using round nose pliers. Wrap and cut the excess.
22. String 6 pip beads onto the centre of a length of 0.31 wire.
23. Thread one end of the wire back through 3 of the beads and pull tight to create a circle, with wire on opposite sides.
24. Thread 1 bicone onto wire and pass other wire through opposite side of bicone, pull tight to centre of flower.
25. Place over the top of wraps at top of small leaf and wrap around the top, so it covers the wraps at the top of both leaves, but doesn’t hide the loop. Pass the wires through the bicone on either side.
26. Wrap around smaller leaf until secure, trim excess wire.
27. Add jump ring to loop and put on necklace.
28. For earrings mirror the leaves and attach to ear wires. For a bracelet, add jump ring to loop and attach chain, cut chain to desired length, attach to the larger leaf using jump ring, and cut in half, attach the other end to clasp using a jump ring.
