If necessary, trim any access wire on the short side with side cutters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4. Use round nose pliers to form a loop with the longer side of the wire by bending it to a right angle and wrapping it around the tip of the pliers. Before securing the loop, thread in the bottom left loop petal of the flower. Hold the loop flat between the tips of snipe nose pliers and take the long end of wire and use your fingers to tightly wrap it around the stem of the wires - begin at the base and work downwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5.

Take the wire and form a loop one end using the round nose pliers, leaving a short length one side of the loop. Before you begin to wrap the wire, catch in the loop of the flower. Take the shorter length of wire and wrap it around the longer length to create a tight neat coil, 2 or 3 twists should be enough. You can use your pliers to help hold the wire whilst wrapping. Slip the briolette onto the wire around 3-4cm down.
