Step 3 - Anchor the 4 pieces of 24g wire to the bottom of the loop by wrapping several time around. (This will also hide ends where they meet on the wire frame.)

Step 4 – Twist the wires together to create a trunk. This should be about 1/2" or half the diameter of the circle.

Step 5 – Add the stone chips to the wires and weave* them to create the branches. Create a small loop at then end of each wire after the chips so they don't fall off.
*You can simply cross the beaded wires to create fullness.

Step 6 – Wrap the end of the wire around the frame to anchor. Make sure you capture the soldered ring in the center as you do this so your pendant hangs properly.
