- Cut 16 inches of Opelon and place a bead stopper 4 inches from the end. On the other end place a big eye needle.
- String on a gemstone bead followed by a seed bead. Repeat this sequence another 10 times. Add another gemstone bead.
- Next string on: 1 TierraCast tube bead, 1 gemstone bead, 1 seed bead, 1 TierraCast spacer bead with loop, 1 seed bead, 1 gemstone bead, and finally 1 more TierraCast tube bead.
- Go back to the start of your bracelet, remove the bead stopper.
- Take your two ends of Opelon, cross them, and tie a knot. Tie a double knot on top of the knot you just tied. Add a dab of GS Hypo Cement glue over your knot and then trim the tails. If you want to, you can weave your tails in a little for added security and also tie several additional knots.
- Finally, open a jump ring and link it to your spacer bead with loop as well as your Zola Elements charm. Close the jump ring.
