Fallen Leaves Bracelet
Five different colors of our glass leaf beads are mixed together with silver lined gold pony beads for a classic look. We used our hammertone gold plated cones to finish off the ends. Cones are easy to use, simply measure their lenth and the length of the clasp and subtract them from the length of the bracelet. Our bracelet as written up below measures 7.5".

Directions:
Step 1. Cut three pieces of Soft Flex, each measuring about 10 inches in length.
Step 2. Take Strand 1 and an Eye Pin. String a Crimp onto the strand and thread the strand through the loop of the Eye Pin, bringing about an inch of it back through the Crimp. Crush the Crimp and trim excess. Repeat with Strands 2 and 3 with the same Eye Pin.
Step 3. On Strand 1, string 4 Pony Beads, then the following:
1 Lime Leaf
3 Pony Beads
1 Emerald Leaf
3 Pony Beads
1 Topaz Leaf
3 Pony Beads
1 Evergreen Leaf
3 Pony Beads
1 Smoke Topaz Leaf
3 Pony Beads
Repeat this pattern again, beginning with the Lime Leaf.
Step 4. On Strand 2, string the following with 4 Pony Beads between each Leaf:
5 Pony Beads
1 Emerald Leaf
1 Topaz Leaf
1 Evergreen Leaf
1 Smoke Topaz Leaf
1 Lime Leaf
1 Emerald Leaf
1 Topaz Leaf
1 Evergreen Leaf
and 4 more Pony Beads.
Step 5. On Strand 3, string the following with 4 Pony Beads between each Leaf:
5 Pony Beads
1 Evergreen Leaf
1 Topaz Leaf
1 Emerald Leaf
1 Lime Leaf
1 Smoke Topaz Leaf
1 Evergreen Leaf
1 Topaz Leaf
and 4 more Pony Beads.
Step 6. Repeat the process followed in Step 2 with the ends of Soft Flex and another Eye Pin.
Step 7. Take a Cone and slide the pointed end of the Eye Pin through the hole, pulling the Cone down snug over the three strands. Using Flat Nose Pliers, bend the Eye Pin 90 degrees and trim excess, leaving about 3/8 inch above the cone. Using Round Nose Pliers, curve Pin into a tight loop and thread through one end of the Toggle, then close tightly.
Step 8. Repeat Step 7 on the other end of the bracelet with the other piece of the Toggle.
The finished length of this bracelet is approximately 7 ½ inches. Enjoy!
