Directions:
Step 1. Cut two pieces of Soft Flex, each measuring approximately 15 inches long. Clip a Bead Stopper onto the end of the two strands, leaving about two inches on one side.
Step 2. Onto the two strands together, string one Crimp and two Pony Beads. Separate the two strands and string one Pony Bead, one Stardust Round, one Pearl, one Stardust Round, and one Pony Bead onto each. Pull the Soft Flex tight to create a gap between the strands. Keep pulling tight throughout.
Step 3. Bring the strands back together and thread them both through a Pony Bead, a Noodle, and a Pony Bead.
Step 4. Separate the strands and string one Stardust Round, two Pony Beads, one Pearl, two Pony Beads, and one Stardust Round onto each. Bring the strands together through one Pony Bead.
Step 5. Thread both strands together through an “X” bead, a Pony Bead, an “O” bead, a Pony Bead, an “X” bead, a Pony Bead, an “O” bead, and another Pony Bead.
Step 6. Repeat the pattern created in Steps 2-4 in reverse order to create the other side of the bracelet, remembering to pull it taut.
Step 7. When you reach the end, crush the Crimp with Crimping Pliers. Trim one strand right above the Crimp to leave one strand behind. Thread this strand through the Heart Charm, another Crimp, one piece of the Toggle, and back through the Crimp. Crush the Crimp with Pliers and trim excess.
Step 8. Repeat Step 7 on the other end with the other piece of the Toggle, without the Heart Charm. |
