6. Lay your domino on a flat surface and place the loops at the bottom of
the domino. Take your pliers and bend the straight end up at the bottom

of the domino.
7. Take the completed wire in your hands and curl the straight ends out in
a small curl
8. Place wonder tape or The Tape [Dragginink.com] around the edge of the
domino.
9. Take your wire frame and carefully place it around the sides of the
domino, STARTING at the BOTTOM and working up each side.

(The blue from the wire will be reflected in the
glass spheres making them appear blue also.)

wear with pride!
