Silver Seed Beads
Nylon Coated Wire

Separate the wires and thread on 5 seed beads.

Step Five
Thread a disc bead onto each wire and then 2 seed beads.

Step Six
Thread a disc bead onto one wire and then thread the other wire through the disc bead in the opposite direction (similar to lacing a shoe), then thread 2 seed beads onto each wire.

Step Seven
Follow Step 5 and 6 four more times.

Thread 5 seed beads onto each wire and then put both wires together and thread on 1 seed bead.

Step Nine
With both wires together, thread on a crimp bead and then thread the wire through the loop on the toggle clasp.
