- Make nine Flower Links (page 25 in the book), two each in purple, peach, ice blue, and amethyst, and one in yellow, using 6 inches of wire for each link and 6 pegs. Begin by using the 3mm spot on the wire looping pliers to form a loop on one end of each wire.
- Place the pegs as show below:
- Place the loop of one wire on the left center peg, with the wire wrapping counter-clockwise from the wire end. Wrap the wire clockwise around the bottom left peg, then counter-clockwise around the top left peg. Wrap the wire clockwise around the bottom right peg, then clockwise around the top right peg. Wrap the wire clockwise around the left center peg and form a loop.
- Remove the link from the jig and cut off the excess wire after the final loop. Use the Wire Whacker to work-harden the link.
- Repeat Steps 3 and 4 eight times to complete nine links.
- Make five Zigzag Oval Links (page 40 in the book), one each of the five colors of 20-gauge wire, using 5 inches of wire for each link and 8 pegs. Begin by forming a loop on one end of each wire.
- Place the pegs as shown below:
- Place the loop of one wire on the bottom center peg, with the wire wrapping clockwise from the wire end. Bring the wire up and around the two left pegs, then wrap the wire clockwise halfway around the top center peg. Bring the wire down to the left of the peg just below the top center peg, then bring the wire down to the right of the peg below it. Wrap the wire counter clockwise halfway around the bottom center peg, then bring the wire up and around the two right pegs. Wrap the wire counter clockwise around the top center peg and form a loop.
- Remove the link from the jig and cut off the excess wire after the final loop. Use the Wire Whacker to work-harden the link, then form the link back into shape, if necessary.
- Repeat Steps 8 and 9 four times to complete five links.
- Make five Many Ovals Links (page 41 in the book), one each of the five colors of 20-gauge wire, using 7 inches of wire for each link and 12 pegs. Begin by forming a loop on one end of each wire.
- Place the pegs as shown below:
- Place the loop of one wire on the top center peg, with the wire wrapping clockwise from the wire end. Bring the wire clockwise around the three pegs below the top center peg, then around the top center peg again, forming a small oval. Bring the wire clockwise down around the two far right pegs and halfway around the bottom center peg. Bring the wire clockwise around the three pegs just above the bottom center peg, then around the bottom center peg again, forming a small oval. Bring the wire clockwise up around the two far left pegs. Wrap the wire clockwise around the top center peg and form a loop.
- Remove the link from the jig and cut off the excess wire after the final loop. Use the Wire Whacker to work-harden the link, then form the link back into shape, if necessary.
- Repeat Steps 13 and 14 four times to complete five links.
- Use 2 jump rings to attach one half of the clasp to the purple zigzag oval link. Attach links as follows using 2 jump rings between each pair of links: peach flower link, ice blue many ovals link, amethyst flower link, lemon zigzag link, purple flower link, peach many ovals link, ice blue flower link, amethyst zigzag link, lemon flower link, purple many ovals link, peach flower link, ice blue zigzag link, amethyst flower link, lemon many ovals link, purple flower link, peach zigzag link, ice blue flower link, and amethyst many ovals link.
