Directions:
Ankle Bracelet Directions: 
Step 1:   Onto a head pin place a 3mm Round, Heishi, Star, Heishi, Round and a crystal. Using flat nose pliers, bend the piece of wire 90°. Using a wire cutter, cut off the excess head pin leaving approximately 3/16". Carefully bend the 3/16" piece of wire into a loop and attach to the smaller circle on the round part of your toggle.  Close it tightly.

Step 2:   Cut a 12" piece of SoftFlex.  String SoftFlex through one crimp bead, loop through the part of clasp that you just placed your head pin onto, then back through the crimp bead. Using a crimp tool, crush the crimp bead and trim the end.

Step 3:   String the following beads:
Crystal, Cube, Round, Cube, Round, Cube, Crystal, Heishi, Star, Heishi.

Step 4:   Repeat this 5 times, leaving out the last Heishi, Star, and Heishi, ending with a crimp bead.

Step 5:   Loop through the toggle part of clasp, and back through the crimp bead, crush crimp and trim end. Finished length is approximately 10 inches.

Earring Directions: 
Step 1:   Repeat Step 1 from the Anklet to make 2 dangles.

Step 2:   Cut a 4" piece of SoftFlex. 
Step 3:   String the following beads:
Round, Crystal, Cube, Cube, Crystal, Round, loop of the dangle from Step 1, Round, Crystal, Cube, Cube, Crystal, Round.

Step 4:   String both ends of Beadalon through one crimp bead and crush the crimp and trim the ends. (Note that the crimp bead needs to be crimped small and tight for the next step.)

Step 5:   Open the loop of the ear wire and string the dangle by allowing the crimp bead to sit within the loop.  (If you need to adjust the size of your crimp bead, crimp tighter to allow it to dangle freely.) Close the loop of your earring. Repeat for the other earring. Enjoy!
