Multi-Tier Beads & Jewelry Wire Chandelier Earrings Jewelry Making Project Page 28

Step 31:  To connect the opposite end of the top wire component to the five loop wire component you will need to open both end loops on the five loops wire component and the top wire component.  Once the two wire components are connected, then close both opened loops. 

Step 32:  Using a head pin and a 4mm bead, add a bead dangle to the two end loops of the 5 loop wire component.  The technique for making a bead dangle is discussed here. 

Step 33:  Using a head pin and a 6mm bead, add a bead dangle to the center loop in the 5 loop wire component. 

Step 34:  At this point we need to connect the 4 loop wire component to the 5 loop wire component.  This is done with 22 gauge wire, two 4mm beads, and a wire technique called the wrapped bead link.  The technique for making the wrapped bead link is discussed here.  One at a time, connect the loops made on pegs 5 and 8 in the 5 loop wire component to wrapped bead links.  You can connect these links to the outside loops in the 4 loop wire component by opening the end loops in the 4 loop wire component, connecting to the loop in the wrapped bead link and then closing the loops. 

Step 35:  With the 4 loop wire component connected to the 5 loop wire component, we are ready to begin hanging beads from the 4 loop wire component.  Using a head pin and 4mm bead, hang a bead dangle from the two outside loops in the 4 loop wire component.

Step 36:  Now we are ready to add the third tier, the 3 loop wire component.  Just as you connected the 4 loop wire component to the 5 loop wire component with wrapped bead links, we need to connect the center two loops of the 4 loop wire component to the outer two loops on the three loop wire component using 22 gauge wire and 4mm beads.
