Then string on three amethyst chips and one silver rectangle bead. Repeat 12 times. Then string on one puff coin and one silver rectangle bead. String on one 6mm white jade bead and one silver rectangle bead. Repeat 8 times.
3. String on one magical crimp in silver. Thread the wire up through one wire protector and over. Before stringing the wire back through the crimp tube, string onto the bar end of the toggle clasp to the wire protector. Once the wire is back through the crimp tube. Pull snug and using the magical crimping pliers crimp the crimp tube. Trim any excess wire.
