Step 6:  While holding the beads against the spiral, use your fingers to pull coils from the spiral up and away from the base of the spiral.  Separate the coils so that they are evenly spaced.  Continue pulling the coils away from the base until they appear as shown at right.  This is easier to accomplish if you pull one coil at a time then space the coils evenly.

Step 8:  (Not shown)  Cut the excess wire.  Then, using bent chain nose pliers, try to squeeze the cut end of the wire against the vertical wire segment so that it does not stick out.

Step 9:  Now grasp the straight segment of wire immediately above the beads your bent chain nose pliers.  Using the thickness of your pliers as a measure, bend the wire against the pliers to an angle of almost 90 degrees as shown at right.
