Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

Please note that the clasp has changed slightly on this design from the one pictured. All the other beads remain the same.

Cut 15 inches of beading wire. Place a bead stopper on one end, 4 inches from the tail. String on 1 crimp bead.
String your beads in the following order: 1 black bicone, 3 red bicones, 1 black bicone, 1 ladybug bead. Repeat this sequence 4 more times.
Next, string on the following beads: 1 black bicone, 3 red bicones, 1 black bicone, 1 crimp bead.
Take your beading wire and thread it through the loop on one half of your clasp. Loop it back through your crimp bead and pull snug. Crimp your crimp bead and trim off excess wire. Place a crimp bead cover over your crimp bead.
Go back to the other side of your bracelet and remove the bead stopper. Now repeat the previous step on this side of the bracelet with the other half of your toggle clasp. All done! Enjoy!
