Tools and supplies:
Coiling Gizmo® (#69-020), Beadsmith® zebra stripe tool set (#69-291) includes:
side cutters, round-nose pliers, chain-nose pliers, flat-nose pliers, bead reamer (with 3 tips) and knotting tweezers

TIPS:
* Use the Coiling Gizmo to create five coiled beads. The instruction booklet that comes with it is very descriptive and useful for making the coils.

* Cut approximately 24" of wire to make each coiled bead. The center focal coiled bead uses two colors of wire: rose and peach.

* To make coiled beads without a Coiling Gizmo, check out the instructions in Sharilyn Miller’s book Bead on a Wire (#62-669).
