eight of the ten bumpy beads which match with the yellow barrels, pink
coins, or the AB crystal rounds. Now attach a head pin to each of
the selected bumpy beads by taking one head pin, add one bumpy bead, and
using a flat nose pliers, bend the eye pin wire 90°. Using a
wire cutter, cut off the excess head pin leaving approximately 3/16". Using
a round nose pliers bend the 3/16" piece of wire into a loop. Set
aside for later stringing.
Step 3: Attach
one end of wire to the heart ring clasp with one crimp bead. Pass
the wire through the crimp, through the clasp, back through the crimp,
crush the crimp, and trim the wire end.

the following beads:

1 Yellow barrels or Pink coin or AB crystal round

Step 5: Thread
back through the crimp and crush the crimp. Trim off the ends. Finished
length is 7 ¾". You can shorten the length to 6 ¾"
by reducing the three 3mm rounds to two 3mm rounds. Enjoy!
