  2. Wrap 14 times to start, then string on 1 pink 4mm bead, wrap 5 times, then string on 1 crystal 6mm bead, wrap 5 times. Then simply repeat this pattern, ending with 1 pink 4mm bead. There should be 17 pink beads and 16 crystal beads, however if your spacing shifts, just make sure to make it even as you come to the other side of the headband. Finish off with 14 wraps and tucking the wire as seen in the video.
