Directions:
Step 1:  Cut one 10" piece of SoftFlex.

Step 2:  Select 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.

Step 4:  String the following beads:
3 G/P 3mm Rounds
1 Yellow barrels or Pink coin or AB crystal round
1 matching Bumpy bead with head pin
1 Yellow barrels or Pink coin or AB crystal round
Repeat this pattern 7 times

3 G/P 3mm Rounds
1 G/P crimp
1 G/P Toggle bar clasp

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!
