Instructions

  1. Begin by cutting a 10” length of beading wire and string with 1 crimp tube followed by 1 small spacer bead. Attach to the toggle clasp by stringing on one end of the toggle and returning 1” of wire back through the first small spacer bead and the crimp tube. Use the crimping too to secure the crimp tube. Conceal the loose tail by stringing the first few beads over both strands of wire.
  2. String the bracelet in the following pattern: 4 medium beads, 1 flat bead, 1 large bead, 1 flat bead, 1 large bead, 1 flat bead, 5 medium beads, 1 flat bead, 1 large bead, 1 flat bead, 1 large bead, 1 flat bead, 5 medium beads, 1 flat bead, 1 large bead, 1 flat bead, 1 large bead, 1 flat bead, 4 medium beads.
  3. Finish the stringing with 1 crimp tube followed by 1 small bead and attach to the other end of the toggle clasp, securing as in Step 1. Hide the excess tail by stringing in back through the last beads strung.
  4. For the final step, make the charm by stringing 1 small bead followed by 1 star bead onto the 2” silver head pin. Attach it to the open end of the toggle clasp by forming a wrapped loop.
