Directions:
Step 1. Cut three pieces of Soft Flex, each measuring 9 inches in length.
Step 2. Take one strand and string the following: one Crimp Bead, one Clear AB Crystal, one Silver Round, one Clear AB Crystal, five Seed Beads, one Clear AB Crystal, one Silver Round, and one Clear AB Crystal. Then string the following pattern: three Seed Beads, one Silver Round, three Seed Beads, one Clear AB Crystal, one Light Sapphire Crystal, one Tanzanite Crystal, one Heishi, one Coin Pearl, one Heishi, one Tanzanite Crystal, one Light Sapphire Crystal, and one Clear AB Crystal. Repeat this pattern once, then string: three Seed Beads, one Silver Round, three Seed Beads, one Clear AB Crystal, one Silver Round, one Clear AB Crystal, five Seed Beads, one Clear AB Round, one Silver Round, one Clear AB Round, and a Crimp Bead.
Step 3. Repeat Step 2 with another strand of Soft Flex.
Step 4. Take the third strand and string the following: one Crimp Bead, one Clear AB Crystal, one Silver Round, one Clear AB Crystal, and three Seed Beads. Then string the following pattern: one Clear AB Crystal, one Light Sapphire Crystal, one Tanzanite Crystal, one Heishi, one Coin Pearl, one Heishi, one Tanzanite Crystal, one Light Sapphire Crystal, one Clear AB Crystal, three Seed Beads, one Silver Round, and three Seed Beads. Repeat this pattern once, then string one Clear AB Crystal, one Light Sapphire Crystal, one Tanzanite Crystal, one Heishi, one Coin Pearl, one Heishi, one Tanzanite Crystal, one Light Sapphire Crystal, one Clear AB Crystal, three Seed Beads, one Clear AB Crystal, one Silver Round, one AB Crystal, and a Crimp Bead.
Step 5. Line up the strands with the two identical ones on the outside and the third strand between them. Take the end of one strand and bring it through the corresponding loop on one of the 3-Loop Bars, then bring the strand back through the Crimp Bead and crush it with Crimping Pliers, trimming any excess Soft Flex. Repeat this process with the remaining 5 ends, crimping the opposite ends to the other 3-Loop Bar.
Step 6. Twist open two Jump Rings and use one to attach each piece of the Toggle Clasp to the open loop on each of the 3-Loop Bars. Enjoy! |
