Directions:  
Step 1.  Glue a Sapphire Flat Back Crystal into each of the Charms using Zap-A-Gap and Tweezers.  Set aside to let the glue dry.  Note: for step-by-step instructions on gluing the Flat Backs into the Charms click here.
Step 2.  Onto 14 Head Pins, place a Light Sapphire Crystal.
Step 3.  Onto 7 Head Pins, place a Cobalt Crystal
Step 4. Using Flat Nose Pliers bend each Head Pin 90°.  Cut off the excess Head Pins leaving approximately 1/4".  Using the Round Nosed Pliers carefully bend the 1/4" pieces of wire into loops, but do not close tightly.  Set aside.
Step 5.  Cut your Chain so that it is 6 ¾” long.
Step 6.  Count to the 3rd or 4th link of the Chain.  Twist open a Jump Ring and insert the link of the Chain and one of your Charms.  Twist the Jump Ring closed tightly.
Step 7.  Repeat Step 6 five times until all Charms are attached.  You will attach the Charms randomly, but evenly enough that there is a nice balance in the bracelet.
Step 8.  Take 2 Head Pins containing Light Sapphire Crystals and 1 Head Pin containing a Cobalt Crystal.  Insert the loop of each Head Pin onto the second link of the Chain, with the Cobalt Crystal in between the 2 Light Sapphire Crystals.  Twist each Jump Ring closed.
Step 9.  Attach the rest of the Head Pins containing Crystals in the same manner as in Step 8, in between the Charms.  Keep maintaining a nice balance for the bracelet.
Step 10.  After all the Charms and Crystals are attached, twist open a Jump Ring and insert the loop of one end of the Clasp and the end of the Chain.  Twist the Jump Ring closed.
Step 11.  Repeat Step 10 with the other end of the Clasp and the opposite end of the Chain.
Finished!  Enjoy!  The finished length is just shy of 8”.
