  1. Put a very small dab of glue (XTL-1001) onto the back of the Fuchsia flatback crystal (SWF-10984)(use a pair of tweezers to lift the crystals XTL-4000). Place the crystal onto the center, front of the key loop (PND-7306) (see photo). Alternate the Light Rose crystal (SWF-10980) and the Fuchsia crystals until the front loop of the key is covered (see photo).
  2. Now glue the crystals onto the bottom part of the key as seen in the photo.
  3. Wire wrap the Austrian crystal heart (SWBB-3611) like a briolette. Set aside.
  4. Open one of the jump rings (FJR-6000). Link the jump ring onto the very center link of the chain, the hole in the key, and the wire wrapped heart. Close the jump ring.
  5. Open another jump ring. Link the jump ring onto one of the end links of chain and the "T" bar of the toggle. Close the jump ring.
  6. Open the last jump ring. Link the jump ring onto the other end link of chain and the loop on the toggle clasp. Close jump ring. You're finished!
