7. While threading through your beads, you may occasionally need a little help grasping the end of the wire, so use your bent/flat nosed pliers if necessary to pull on the wire. Think of the wire like a thick piece of thread that you want to thread around the outer beads of your diamond. However, handle the wire carefully as it can break if you bend and handle it a lot.
8. Once you have made it all around your diamond, you’ll have two pieces of wire sticking out of the row that had 2 beads in it. Just wrap these wires together. It doesn’t have to be pretty because it will be covered up later.
9. Now make at least 4 more "petals" using the steps above, and set them aside.
