Twister Stone Capture

By: Melody Pershall

This is a quick guide to how to make this capture!

18 SWG 1/4”

14 SWG 5/8”

18 SWG 1/8”
16 SWG 5/16”

18 SWG 5/32”

Also needed is a 17mm

twister fancy stone from
Swarovski.
Close the 18 SWG 5/32 then add them on to the
14 SWG 5/8”. There should be eight.
Take the four 18 SWG 1/4” and attach each one
as shown through two of the 18 SWG 5/32”
Arrange the rings as shown. It is sort of like you
would with euro 4 in 1. You will take one of the
18 SWG 1/8” and attach two 18 SWG 5/32” as
shown in the photo below.
Repeat previous step all around. It should look
like the picture above.
This is the trickiest part. Rotate the rings outward. This step may take a few
attempts. It should look as above after the rotation. NOTE: this is shown
above with the back side facing you. The next step you will need to turn it
over.
Now it’s time for the 16 SWG 3/8” rings. You will
only take two at first and weave them onto the 18
SWG 1/4” as shown.
Place the stone inside as shown and add another
16 SWG 3/8” onto the 18 SWG 1/4” as you did
with the previous two. This time over the corner
of the stone.
Woohoo! The last 16 SWG 3/8” ring is woven in
like the third. Your stone should be secure
enough to not fall out at this time but it is still a
little loose.
This is a view of the back before we cinch it up.
The last two rings added are 18 SWG 1/8”. They
will connect as shown above two of the 18 SWG
1/8” from earlier. These will be tight to get in but
they tighten up the entire piece.

You are done!!!!! Woot!
