Step 3: Trim the wire tail at the top and take the longer length of wire to the bottom eye and loop once. It's important to always loop over the coils, to form the herringbone weave.

Step 4: Take the wire to the top once more and wrap it over the base of the eye again. This will form ONE complete frame around the bead. Right now, the frame is rounded, but soon it will acquire its typical "diamond" shape.

Step 5: Take the wire down and up again (steps 3 and 4), forming another frame around the bead. This procedure will be repeated as many times as needed to form the diamond shape.
