Directions: 
This necklace is much easier to make if you use a Bead Stopper (#51009) and do the crimping at the end.  We've written the instructions for use without a Bead Stopper. 

Step 1:  Cut two 26" pieces of Soft Flex. String one crimp bead through both strands, create a loop through one end of the toggle clasp and back through the crimp bead, crush the crimp bead.

Step 2:  Begin by stringing 40 Brass Tubes onto the Soft Flex.  Hide your Soft Flex tail under these beads.

Step 3:  Begin stringing your other beads onto your strand. Mix them up and include a Brass Tube in between each other bead you string.  Be sure to watch with side of your Fetish Animal you string through so the animals are facing the correct way when you wear it.  String 12" total of the other beads.

Step 4:  String another 40 Brass Tubes and secure the end with a piece of tape.

Step 5:  Onto the second strand of Soft Flex, string 40 Brass Tubes and hide your Soft Flex tail.  String your other beads as in Step 3 for a total of 13".

Step 6:  String 40 Brass Tubes and take the tape off the first strand.

Step 7:  String both Soft Flex strands through a crimp bead and the opposite end of the toggle clasp.  Loop back through the crimp bead, pull so BOTH strands are snug and crush the crimp bead.

Step 8:  Try on your new necklace and enjoy!
