Step 12:  Remove the wire from the jig and cut the excess wire.  Close the final loop with your bent chain nose pliers.  At this point your two wire components will appear as shown at right.

Step 13:  Now, using your round nose pliers, convert both loops in the short wire component into eye loops as shown at right.  This jewelry making technique can be viewed here. 
 

Step 14:  At this point we need to connect the two wire components.  This is accomplished by first opening one end loop on the shorter wire component and connecting that loop to one of the end loops on the V shaped wire component.  On the opposite end of the V shaped and short wire components, we need to open the end loops on both wire components, then close both loops once the pieces are connected.  The technique for opening and closing loops is discussed here. 
 

Step 15:  We are ready to add bead dangles to the five loops in our yoke.  Thread a head pin into five 6mm beads.  Using this head pin, make a bead dangle to hang from each loop.  The jewelry technique for making a bead dangle is discussed here.
