Directions:
Directions for bracelet: The finished
length of this bracelet is 7 ¾ inches, but if you need to make it
a bit longer you will have enough beads to do so. Be sure to save
2 Beaded Beads, 2 Wire Beads, 4 Heishis, and 2 Teal Beads for the earrings. 
Step 1. Cut 9 inches of SoftFlex.
Step 2. String SoftFlex through one Crimp Bead,
through one end of the Toggle Clasp, then back through the Crimp Bead.
Snug Crimp Bead up to Clasp. Using a crimping tool, crush the Crimp Bead
and trim the end.
Step 3. String 1 Rolled Heishi, 1 Teal
Bead, 1 Rolled Heishi, 1 Beaded Bead, 1 Rolled Heishi, 1 Teal Bead, 1 Rolled
Heishi, 1 Wood Bead, 1 Wire Bead, and 1 Wood Bead. Repeat one more time
ending with 1 Rolled Heishi, 1 Teal Bead, 1 Rolled Heishi, 1 Beaded Bead,
1 Rolled Heishi, 1 Teal Bead and 1 Rolled Heishi.
Step 4. Repeat Step 2, using the other
end of the Toggle Clasp.
Directions for Earrings:
Step 1. Straighten Head Pins if necessary.
Step 2. On a Head Pin place 1 Rolled Heishi,
1 Beaded Bead, 1 Rolled Heishi, 1 Wire Bead, 1 Rolled Heishi, 1 Teal Bead,
and 1 Rolled Heishi.
Step 3. Using a Flat Nosed Pliers bend the Head
Pin 90°. Using a Side Cutter cut off the excess Head Pin leaving approximately
3/16". Using the Round Nosed Pliers carefully bend the 3/16" piece of wire
into a loop, but don't close it tightly. Insert your Ear Wire into the
loop of your Head Pin and now close tightly so there are no gaps.
Step 4. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the second
earring. Enjoy!
