With a paper trimmer or scissors- cut the supporting color (white) down to an inch and a half and mark to punch holes (about 1/8" from ends) for wire and beads. |

Cut a 6 inch length of 26 or so gauge bead wire and use the pilers to make a lope at end to secure the bead. Also, make a 2" long tube/straw out of paper to support the strips. |

Add the smallest bead to wire, the larger bead and one of the 1/2" circles. |

Aline strips in this pattern and add them onto your wire in the order seen here. |

After the strips are loaded onto the wire add a larger circle (1") and the tube/straw and the second 1" circle at top end of the tube. |

Start adding the thinner white strips first onto the wire. Add the ends that are across from each other. |

(YOU MAY ADD GLUE IF YOU LIKE TO SECURE THE STRIPS) Add the red strips in the same X formation (the ends across from each other) then add the last 1/2" circle, the larger bead and the smaller. Make a loop in the wire to secure the bead and use remaining wire for the hook if you like. |
I HOPE YOU WILL TRY THIS! It's addicting and FUN!
IF SOMEONE HAS ALREADY COME UP WITH THIS DESIGN FROM THE BOW DIE, PLEASE SHARE TECHNIQUE WITH ME.
