INSTRUCTIONS

  1. String two 8/0 seed beads, the round end of the toggle clasp, and two more seed beads (tie knot before stringing beads, Leave a long tail and do not trim off excess. You will use the "tail"  to reinforce and knot additional times, later).
  2. String four 6mm crystals, then 5 of your 8/0 Seed Beads, one crystal, and then 5 more seed beads. Circle around and thread back through the second, third, and fourth crystals, in the same direction as the first thread. Once you have the thread coming out of the fourth crystal, string five more 8/0 seed beads, one crystal, and five more seed beads, then circle around and thread back through the second third and forth crystals again so that the third thread is also coming out in the same place. You should now have a section completed.
  3. Now string crystals number five, six, and seven, then five seed beads, one crystal, and then four seed beads. Connect by threading through the last seed bead from the previous segment (on that side), and then through the center of crystals five through seven. Repeat this step on the opposite side and connect by going through the last seed bead from the previous segment, and run your thread back through the center of crystals five, six and seven.
  4. Repeat step three until desired length is achieved.
  5. Closure Attachment: String four seed beads, the bar end of the toggle clasp, and then two more seed beads, tie knot, run thread back through a couple more beads and tie another knot. We recommend that you run a reinforcing thread at last two times through the entire project, and then tie and reinforce the closure ends multiple times.
