Directions: 
Step 1.  Cut approximately 50 inches of Thread. 
Step 2.  Place Thread through eye of the Needle and pull through the eye until the two ends of the thread are even.  Now you have a double strand.  Place a Bead Stopper at the end. 
Step 3.  Thread onto the Needle:
1 4mm Crystal
1 Bali Spacer
1 4mm Crystal
15 Seed Beads
1 4mm Crystal
15 Seed Beads
Repeat this pattern 2 more times.
Step 4.  Now thread onto Needle:
1 4mm Crystal
1 Bali Spacer
1 4mm Crystal
15 Seed Beads
Step 5.  Thread onto Needle:
1 8mm Crystal
1 Bali Spacer
1 8mm Crystal
1 Bali Spacer
1 Chrysocolla Oval
1 Bali Spacer
1 8mm Crystal
1 Bali Spacer
1 8mm Crystal
Step 6.  Now string:
15 Seed Beads
1 Bali Spacer
1 Chrysocolla Oval
1 Bali Spacer
Step 7.  String 1 Seed Bead and then take the Needle back up through the Bali Spacer, Chrysocolla Oval and the other Bali spacer. Thread 14 Seed Beads.
Step 8.  Repeat Step 5 and then 15 Seed Beads.
Step 9.  Repeat Step 3 and end with one 4mm Crystal, 1 Bali Spacer and one 4mm Crystal.
Step 10.  Be sure at this point that you have enough Thread at both ends to be able to tie a square knot on each. On the end with the Bead Stopper, carefully remove the Bead Stopper and thread both pieces of Thread through the hole at the bend of the Bead Tip. Now place one strand of the Thread through a Seed Bead. Snug up the beads and tie a square knot several times. Use a pliers to close the Bead Tip. Trim excess thread. Repeat for the other side.
Step 11.  Onto the hook of the Bead Tip, place the loop of the Hook end of the Clasp.
Now close the hook of the Bead Tip with the Pliers. Repeat for the Eye of the Clasp.  Enjoy!
