Instructions

1. Under a good light, which will better enable you to see the color combinations, arrange the beads on a black velvet pad or soft, dark surface. Try to break up the pattern here and there.
2. Since this bracelet uses a toggle clasp, plan to string smaller beads with flat ends next to the toggle. If you use larger round beads, you may have a hard time inserting the toggle bar into the ring.
3. Once you have established the stringing pattern, begin by threading on a crimp bead, and positioning it approximately 1" (2.5 cm) from the end.
4. Loop the wire through one side of the toggle and back through the crimp. Use the flat-nose pliers to crush the crimp. As you thread the first bead, make sure it hides the end of the wire.
5. Continue threading beads, placing one of the small black rondelles between each of the larger beads, until the bracelet is the length you want.
6. End with a crimp bead, loop the wire through the other side of the toggle, and pass the thread back through the crimp and a few of the beads.
7. Use the flat-nose pliers to pull the wire tail tight to avoid leaving any slack before crushing the crimp. Use the wire cutters to trim any excess wire.
