Instructions
Cut one 12-inch length of Stainless Steel .49 clear Accu-Flex.
Attach the first end. Slide a 2.5mm crimp tube onto one wire end, then the gold Accu-Guard™ wire protector. Pass the beading wire back through the crimp. Pull the beading wire so the crimp rests snug against the Accu-Guard leaving approximately 1/4 inch of beading wire on the end. Crimp then trim the excess from the short end of the beading wire. Finish with a 4mm gold-plated round crimp cover.
Start stringing 6mm vintage gold Crystal Passion Beads onto the Accu-Flex. Add enough beads to make to desired length.
Repeat Step 2 to add crimp to other end.
Attach toggle clasp to each end with 5.5mm gold plated jump rings.
Attach Cubic Zirconia gold and blue drop to round part of the toggle with 5.5 mm jump ring.
