4. From what you learned in the video, pick up one druk, one blue superduo, one druk, one silver superduo, one druk, one silver superduo, one druk, and one blue superduo.

9. You will continue to weave to your desired length (note: the clasp will add about 1/2 inch) while keeping the two outside rows blue and the four inner rows silver. Please see the photo to help you with the pattern if you need to.
10. To add the clasp, weave your tail along the thread path of the end row and have your needle come up thru the second druk bead along the edge. Pick up one druk thread on one loop of the slide clasp. Pick up another druk and weave your needle down thru the adjacent silver superduo and up thru the next druk. Pick up one druk thread on the second loop of the slide clasp. Pick up another druk and weave your needle down thru the adjacent silver superduo. You can weave through this pattern again to secure the clasp. Once you have done so, tie in and weave in your tail.

12. All done!
