String fifth strand with 7 ½ inches of Crystal AB seed beads, string pendant from step 2, string 7 ½ inches of Crystal AB seed beads, and tape end.

Add one crimp bead to next two strands, thread through ring clasp, back through the crimp and crush the crimp. Add one crimp bead to the last strand, thread through ring clasp, back through the crimp and crush the crimp. Trim off the ends. Finished length is 15 1/2".  Enjoy!
