Instructions

Using wire cutters, cut 10 6-inch lengths of wire.
Anchor one length of wire to the component by wrapping one end around the component three times. Trim the wire tail close to the component.
Repeat with each of the remaining wire lengths.
Twist all 10 wire lengths together tightly about halfway toward the component’s center, forming the tree’s “trunk.”
Separate and spread pairs of wires away from the trunk. These wires will form the “branches.”
Begin twisting one pair of wires about halfway toward the component.
String two 3mm Ruby crystal bicone beads onto one wire, and anchor the wire onto the component.
Trim the wire tail close to the component.
In the same manner as in the previous steps, continue twisting each pair of wires and stringing beads onto individual wires. Place the beads in any order you wish, or follow the sequence shown.
Open one jump ring. Use the jump ring to attach the chain to the top of the component across from the tree’s “roots.” Close the jump ring.
Use one jump ring to attach one side of the toggle clasp to one end of the chain.
Repeat Step 11 with the second side of the clasp and the opposite end of the chain.
If wire ends create any rough spots, apply a small drop of Hypo Cement to the spot.

A great gift for any Mother for Mothers Day or for her birthday. This could also work as an anniversary gift possibly. The link does not go to a website it is actually a direct download straight to your computer. I would actually rather have a link to a site so that I might preview the pattern before putting it on my PC.

Love the colour and the concept - a tree of life in the colours of life. A statement of belief and faith, love of life, intent - brilliant
