Directions:
Step 1 -
Cut two 28" pieces of Soft Flex wire. Thread one crimp bead on
one piece of SoftFlex, then through the clasp, make a loop by going back
through your crimp bead. Pull your SoftFlex tight, but leave a little bit
of a loop so the clasp can move freely. Next, using a crimping pliers
or flat nose pliers, crimp or crush your crimp bead. Pull the SoftFlex
to make sure your crimp is tight and then cut off the excess SoftFlex OR
leave the tail and hide it under the first few beads you string.
Repeat this step with the other piece of Soft Flex.
Step 2 -
String one strand with the following:
1 Melon, 1 Cobalt Round, 1 Melon, 1 Crystal, repeat 1 time
1 Melon, 1 Cobalt Round,

Step 4 -
Add one crimp bead onto the second strand, then through the jump ring,
make a loop by going back through your crimp bead, and pull your SoftFlex
tight. Next, using a crimping pliers or flat nose pliers, crimp or
crush your crimp bead. Pull the SoftFlex to make sure your crimp
is tight and then cut off the excess SoftFlex OR hide it under the last
few beads. Repeat this step with the first strand after removing
