Directions:
Step 1. Cut three pieces of Soft Flex, each measuring about 12 inches in length. Clamp a Bead Stopper onto one end of all three strands. Onto the first strand, string a Crimp, then an 8mm Wood Round and Pony Bead. Alternate Wood Beads and Pony Beads until you’ve used 21 Wood Beads and 20 Pony Beads, finishing with a Crimp Bead.
Step 2. Onto the second strand, string a Crimp, then a Gold Round and 10mm Wood Bead. Alternate Wood Beads and Gold Rounds until you’ve used a total of 17 Wood Rounds and 18 Gold Rounds. Finish with a Crimp Bead.
Step 3. Onto the third strand, string a Crimp Bead followed by this pattern: three Mottled Wood Rounds interspersed with two Pony Beads, and one Gold Round. Repeat this pattern four times, then string three Mottled Wood Rounds interspersed with two Pony Beads and Crimp Bead.
Step 4. Take one end of the first strand and pass it through the loop of the Toggle Clasp and back through the Crimp Bead. Crush the Crimp with Crimping Pliers and trim any excess Soft Flex. Repeat this with the other two strands, then move to the other ends and crimp them to the other piece of the Clasp. Wear the bracelet twisted or however you like!
