Leonian Napkin Ring

1. Cut 24 inches of Leonian wire.

2. With your hands, make three 1 1/4-inch petal-shaped loops at one end of the wire; use 28-gauge wire to secure where necessary. Repeat at the other end of the wire.

3. Slide three 6 mm beads onto a 4-inch piece of 28-gauge wire. Twist ends of wire together to form a circle. Trim. Repeat to make another circle.

4. Using 28-gauge wire, attach circles at center points of the petal loops.

5. Wrap ring around a rolled napkin, shaping Leonian wire as necessary.
