INSTRUCTIONS

Cut 6 one foot pieces of Elasticity stretch cord and place a small square of tape on one end of each piece to keep the beads from falling off while working.
Begin stringing your beads (see recommended sizing chart for pattern). Once you have the right amount of beads for the size bracelet that you desire, slide one end of chain segment on to cord, and continue your bead pattern until all five chain segments are on cord, with equal amounts of beads between.
Tie a surgeons knot (pictured on the spool of elasticity) and place a spot of glue on that knot for security, when dry trim off excess cord. (Knot will hide under last link of chain) Skip one link of chain per strand and repeat steps two and three, for a total of eight strands.
Make 105 small bead dangles, by sliding one seed bead and one 4mm bead on each head pin and doing a wire loop wrap to secure.
Make 70 medium sized dangles by sliding a seed bead, a 6mm bead, and a 4mm bead on each head pin and doing a wire loop wrap to secure.
Slide two medium sized dangles and three small dangles on to a split ring using your split ring pliers to create a large dangle. Repeat this step to create 35 large dangles.
Attach your large dangles to the chain links in between beaded cords (7 large dangles per segment) using your split ring pliers, to complete your bracelet.
