Directions:
Step 1: Cut 2 lengths of Beadalon 22" and 20 inches.

Step 2: Start with the 22 inches by stringing a crimp bead, 4mm crystal, spacer bead, flat rectangle, another spacer, a crystal and a crimp bead, find the center of the string and crimp the cluster of beads in place by crushing the crimp beads.

Step 3: Move 1/2 " in each direction both right and left from the center cluster.  String a crimp bead, aqua star and another crimp bead.  Crush the crimp beads.

Step 4: Move another 1/2" away from each of  the stars to place another bead cluster as in step 2.  At this point you have 3 bead clusters and 2 stars in place.

Step 5: Move another 1/2" away from the clusters and place a star by repeating step 3.

Step 6: Finally move another 1/2" away from the stars to place a bead clusters. Now you have 5 bead clusters and 4 stars.

Step 7: Start with the 20 inch long string by  placing a bead cluster in the center, but this time  move 3/4" on each direction to place a star, then move another 3/4" from each of  the stars to place another bead cluster.

Step 8: Bring the strings together, adjust until it looks nice.  String both strands on one side through a crimp bead and a toggle part.   Double back through the crimp bead and pull tight and crush the crimp bead.  Cut off excess string.  Repeat for the other side.  Enjoy!
