Supplies

• five 10mm green crystal/metal 2-hole slides
• six 8mm fire polish olivine glass beads
• 20 green glass e-beads
• silver toggle clasp
• two 9” lengths of silver bead stringing wire
• wire cutters
• round nose pliers
• chain nose pliers
• ruler

Instructions

1. Attach two pieces of beading wire to half of the clasp by springing a crimp bead or tube 1/2” to 1” from the end of the wire. String the clasp onto the wire, then place the wire end back through the crimp to form a small loop. Use a crimping tool to crimp it. Cut off the wire end or place it through the first bead.
2. String both wires through a glass olivine bead, then add an e-bead onto each wire and string one wire end through each hole on a crystal/metal slide and again add an e-bead to each wire. Continue the pattern until all the beads and spacers are used, ending with a glass olivine bead. Adjust the tension on each wire, then attach each wire end to the clasp.
