Directions:

Bracelet Directions:
Step 1. Cut 5 strands of SoftFlex about 12 inches long.
Step 2. String SoftFlex of all 5 strands through one Crimp Bead. Strands 1 and 2 will go through the left loop of the Clasp; strand 3 will go through the middle loop of the Clasp; and strands 4 and 5 will go through the right loop of the clasp. Then, all strands together will go back through the Crimp Bead. Using a crimping tool, crush the Crimp Bead and trim the excess.
Step 3.
Strand 1: String 5 pink Seed Beads, a silver Seed Bead, 5 pink Seed Beads, a Druk, a Heishi, a Druk, 5 pink Seed Beads, a silver Seed Bead, 5 pink Seed Beads, a Pearl, a Liquid Twist, and a Pearl. Repeat this pattern 2 more times. End with 3 Pink Seed Beads. Set the strand aside.
Step 4.
Strand 2: String pink Seed Beads down the entire strand. Set the strand aside.

Step 5.
Strand 3: String 5 pink Seed Beads, a Rose Quartz Chip, 5 pink Seed Beads, a silver Seed bead, a pink Cube, and a silver Seed Bead. Repeat this pattern 5 more times. End with 5 pink Seed Beads. Set the strand aside.

Step 8. Twist and twine the strands together, but be careful not to spill your beads!
Step 9. Repeat Step 2. Since the strands are twisted together, it does not matter which loop of the clasp that you use for each strand.
