Materials needed
Headpins
Czech mixed beads purple color tones
16 Periot 6mm crystal bicones
4 Hummingbird metal beads or similar
Jump rings
Toggle clasp

Tips
Try using other metal beads or charms for decoration. To make a longer bracelet length, thread crystal or seed beads onto a headpin and make a extra chain length either side of the bracelet before attaching clasps.

Step One
Take a headpin and thread on a purple colored Czech bead. Cut the flat end off the headpin and make a loop with round nose pliers. Trim the other end to ΒΌ inch (1 cm) and make a loop as before. Now repeat this step eight more times with different shape beads. Use jump rings to link these beaded headpins together form a chain.

Step Two
Take a headpin and thread on a peridot crystal. Trim headpin and make a loop as in step one. Repeat fifteen times, and attach the crystal to jump rings on the chain in groups of two.

Step Three
Starting at the first set of crystal groups, attach a hummingbird bead by using a headpin as before. Now attach remaining hummingbird to every other group of crystals. Attach a jump ring both ends of the chain and attach a toggle clasp.
