Directions:
Step 1. Cut approximately 12 inches of Elastoma.

Step 2. String the following, using a Big Eye Needle:
1 Blue Crystal
1 Silver Round
1 Clear Crystal
1 Silver Round
1 Blue Crystal
1 Heishi
1 Gemstone
1 Heishi

Step 3. Repeat Step 2 four times.

Step 4. String the following, using the Big Eye Needle:
1 Blue Crystal
1 Silver Round
1 Clear Crystal
1 Silver Round
1 Blue Crystal

Note: for the following steps, use the picture as a guide as to which loops of the Melody Links you will be using.
Step 5. Thread your Elastoma through a Crimp Bead, then through a loop of one of the Melody Links and back through the Crimp. Snug the Crimp Bead up to the Charm and crush the Crimp. (Note: please use the Crimp Beads with the largest holes. It will be a very tight fit threading the Elastoma back through the Crimp Bead using the Big Eye Needle.) Place a Crimp Cover over the Crimp Bead and close gently with your Flat Nose Pliers.

Step 6. Twist open a Jump Ring and insert another loop from the Melody Link that you just attached and the appropriate loop from a second Melody Link (use the picture as a guide).

Step 7. Repeat Step 6 with your third Melody Link.

Step 8. Repeat Step 5 with the third Melody Link and the opposite side of the anklet.

Step 9. Onto each of 3 Head Pins, place a Blue Crystal.

Step 10. Take one of the Head Pins and, using Flat Nose Pliers, bend the piece of wire 90°. Using a wire cutter cut off the excess Head Pin leaving approximately 3/16 inches. Carefully bend the 3/16 inches piece of wire into a loop, using Round Nose Pliers, and close the loop tightly.

Step 11. Repeat Step 10 for the remaining 2 Head Pins.

Step 12. Onto each of 2 Head Pins, place a Clear AB Crystal.

Step 13. Repeat Step 10 for these 2 Head Pins.

Step 14. (Now you will attach the Blue Crystals to the anklet at each of 3 remaining open loops of the Melody Links-see picture.) Twist open a Jump Ring and insert the loop from one of the Head Pins containing a Blue Crystal and the last open loop from the first Melody Link. Twist the Jump Ring closed.

Step 15. Repeat Step 14 with the other 2 Head Pins containing Blue Crystals and the other 2 Melody Links.

Step 16. (Lastly, you are going to attach the Head Pins containing the Clear AB Crystals, using the Jump Rings that are linking the Melody Links together-see picture.) Twist open a Jump Ring and insert one of the Jump Rings that is linking the Melody Links together and the loop from one of the Head Pins containing a Clear AB Crystal. Twist the Jump Ring closed.

Step 17. Repeat Step 16 with the other Jump Ring linking the Melody Links together and your last beaded Head Pin. Enjoy!
