Step 2.  Repeat Step 1 next connecting the Jonquil Crystal to the Amethyst Leaf, and then the Sapphire Leaf to the Jonquil Crystal.  Your pattern should be Peridot Leaf, Amethyst Leaf, Jonquil Crystal, and Sapphire Leaf.

Step 3.  Repeat this pattern until you have used all the Eye Pins that you previously prepared.  If you want the make the necklace longer, add more Eye Pins.  Enjoy!
