Take top strand, add 1 Funky Bulbous Black bead (top hole) and 3 Delica beads.  Take the bottom strand, string through top strand's Funky Bulbous Black bead (bottom hole), and add 3 Delica beads.  Now slide the beads tightly together so the Flat Square Black beads are all 
centered and form an X with the Delica beads.
