Now we will assemble the Dangle.

Step 5.  Onto an Eye Pin place a Large Zebra Jasper Oval.

Step 6.  Using Flat Nose Pliers bend the excess wire 90°.  Using a Side Cutter cut off the excess Eye Pin leaving approximately 3/16".  With the Round Nose Pliers, carefully bend the 3/16" pieces of wire into a loop, but do not close tightly.  Set aside.

Step 7.  Onto a Head Pin place 1 Pink Crystal, 1 Black Diamond Crystal, 1 Bead Cap, One 8mm Druk, 1 Bead Cap, and one small Zebra Jasper Coin.  Repeat Step 6.

Step 8.  Go to the middle of the necklace (See Step 3…In between those 2 pink seed beads).  Here, in between the 2 Seed Beads, you will attach the Eye Pin.  Using Flat Nose Pliers twist open a Jump Ring and insert the closed end of the Eye Pin.  Twist the Jump Ring closed between the 2 Pink Seed Beads on the necklace.

Step 9.  Insert the open end of the Head Pin into the Eye Pin and close both loops using Flat Nose Pliers.

Step 10.  Take Strands 1 and 2 and twist them together as much as desired.

Step 11.  Remove a Bead Stopper from one end of Strand 1.  String the SoftFlex through a Crimp Bead, loop through the bar end of the Toggle Clasp, and back through the Crimp Bead.  Crush the Crimp.
Repeat with the Loop end of the Clasp for the other end of the strand.

Step 12.  Repeat Step 11 for Strand 2.

Step 13.  Repeat Step 11 for Strand 3.  If you would like Strand 3 to be twisted in with the other two strands, for a slightly different look, you may do so with Strands 1 & 2, as in Step 10.  Enjoy!
