  1. To start this project, cut 12 inches of beading wire. Place a bead stopper on one end. leaving a tail of 4 inches. Start by placing a crimp tube onto the beading wire.
  2. Next string on: 1 6mm round amethyst bead, 1 round hematite bead, 1 bead cap (facing outwards), 1 8mm round amethyst bead, 1 bead cap (facing inwards), 1 round hematite bead. Repeat this exact sequence another 2 times.
  3. String on another 6mm round amethyst bead and an other crimp tube. Loop the end of the beading wire through the loop on one side of your connector link and bring it back around down through your crimp tube. Crimp the crimp tube, trim off the excess wire, and place a crimp tube cover over it.
  4. Go back to the starting point of this strand and remove the bead stopper. Loop the end of the beading wire through the loop on one half of your magnetic clasp and bring it back around down through your crimp tube. Crimp the crimp tube, trim off the excess wire, and place a crimp tube cover over it.
  5. Repeat all the previous steps on the other side of your bracelet to complete the design.
