2. Keeping Swarovski Beads in the center of the wire, take one end of wire and weave back through the two Beads in White Alabaster keeping tension on the wire (Note: wire tails should exit beads in opposite directions).
3. Add (2) Swarovski Beads #5328 4mm White Alabaster onto one wire tail. Take the opposite wire tail and weave back through the two Swarovski Elements just added (Note: wire tails should exist in opposite directions). Repeat this step once.
4. Add (1) Swarovski Bead art. 5328 Dark Red Coral, (1) Bead #5328 Metallic Light Gold 2x and (1) Bead art. 5328 Dark Red Coral onto one side of the wire. Take the opposite wire and weave back through the Swarovski Elements just added (Note: wire tails should exit Beads in opposite directions). Repeat 2 more times using (3) beads #5328 4mm Dark Red Coral for each row.
5. Using the wire on the right side, make a loop 4mm in diameter. Repeat on the left site (Note: the loops should sit at right angles to the body). The loops are used as a socket for the arms.
6. Slip onto each wire tail (1) Swarovski Bead #5328 Dark Red Coral (Note: do not pull on the wire, the loop shape must be maintained).
7. Keeping both wires together slide on (1) Swarovski Bead art. 5000 8 mm Crystal, (1) 5.5 mm Rondelle and (1) Swarovski Bead art. 5500 9x6 mm Jet (Note: keeping the point side facing the Rondelle).
8. Keeping both wires together, create a wire wrapped loop.

Add (3) Swarovski Beads #5328 Dark Red Corral and (1) Bead #5328 White Alabaster. Keeping the Beads tucked next to each other, cut off the remaining wire - 5 to 6mm from the last bead. Turn a loop and flatten if desired. Repeat for the other arm.
