-
Hold the two lengths together and 2-3" from one end.
-
With the two lengths of wire together, string one 3 mm silver plated round bead followed by two 4 mm silver plated daisy spacer beads.
-
Next, string one 2 mm x 38 mm silver plated curved noodle tube bead onto each of the lengths of wire.
-
Bring the lengths of wire together and string two daisy spacer beads.
-
Then, with the lengths together, string one 4 mm Swarovski Crystal bicone bead, one 5.7 mm silver plated leaf bead cap, one 6 mm air blue opal Swarovski Crystal cube bead, and another leaf bead cap. Make sure that the bead caps are strung with the wide side facing the cube bead.

Repeat step 6 three times, and then, with the lengths together, string one bicone bead and then two daisy spacer beads.

Next, string one 2 mm x 38 mm silver plated curved noodle tube bead onto each of the lengths of wire.
