Directions:
Step 1. Before forming the ring shape, rub the filigree between your hands to warm it up a bit.  Use the large barrel on the Bail Making Pliers to gently bend one side of the filigree to the desired shape, then repeat on the opposite side.  Place the ring on your finger and adjust to fit with your fingers or Flat Nose Pliers.
Step 2.  Cut a piece of wire about 6" long.  Center the bead on the wire.  Put each end of wire around the center point of the filigree.  Then go around the back and up and through the bead both directions.  Then take each end and wrap it around the wire going through the bead on each side and trim ends.
Step 3.  Glue the flat backs on according to the chart below and let dry.  Enjoy!
