How do you make swarvoski crystal sunclusters?

I want to know how to make the crystal clusters that look like they may glued or maybe wired. There are usually 10-14 crystals in one cluster.

1. This is an approximation of what you want to do, perhaps it will get you started and you can improvise as you go along. Here's what you'll need to make the Crystal and Silver Zig Zag Beaded Bracelet: 24 - 8mm Top Drilled Swarovski Crystals 26 - 6mm Swarovski Rondelle beads - silver with clear stones 2 - 6mm Swarovski bicone crystals, drilled end to end 12- inches Soft Flex Beading Wire 2 - 10mm pieces French Wire 2 - Twisted Tornado Crimps, silver 1 - Sterling Silver 10 mm Toggle Clasp Set Using a cut piece of wire, add one end of the clasp to the end of the wire using the Twisted Tornado crimp, the French wire and the toggle clasp. Once the toggle clasp is in place, clip the tail to approximately 5 mm. Be sure you have a good, sturdy crimp so that the beads don't break through the crimp when the bracelet is finished. Add one of the two 6mm Swarovski bicone beads. Make sure you get the ends of both the wire and the wire tail inside of this crystal. Add one Swarovski rondelle, one Swarovski top-drilled crystal, one Swarovski rondelle and another Swarovski top-drilled crystal to your beading wire. Continue the pattern from Step Four until you have all of the top-drilled Swarovski crystals and all of the rondells on your wire. Each end of the bracelet should have a Rondelle next to the 6mm Swarovski crystal. Finish the bracelet by adding the Twisted Tornado crimp, the French wire and the clasp. Pass the stringing wire back through the crimp and the 6 mm crystal. This can be a little tricky, but you'll need to make sure you have a lot of tension on the wire before you crimp. Push the crystals down the wire and hold them tightly in place before you close the crimp. This will create enough tension on the wire to hold the crystals in their zig zag position.
