Step 3

String a total of 30x C with 1x R between each one. Monitor the orientation of the front and back of the C. String 5x C with rocailles between them onto one half of the wire. Thread the second half of the wire. Add the missing R. Continue in the same way up to the end. This will create a narrow band which should be as straight as possible. Thread 1x R at the end of one half of the wire. Also thread the second half of the wire.
