Step 2:

Cut the four stands of rondells and the one strand of cherry quartz square spacers. Mix the beads up and string them on randomly. As you are stringing add a 4mm round every few beads. Continue stringing until you have 15" of rondells and spacers. Finish off the strand with another fifteen 4mm olivine rounds. Crimp the soft flex to the other clasp end.

Step 3:

Make the chain strand. Place each seafoam beach stone on to an eyepin. Turn a loop in the eyepin to create a bead link. Cut six pieces of chain. Two pieces 4.5" and four pieces that are 2". Attach one 4.5" piece of chain to one side of the toggle clasp. Attach the remaining bead links and chain lengths in this order, bead link, 2" chain, bead link, 2" chain, bead link, 2" chain, bead link, 2" chain, bead link, and the second 4.5" length of chain. Finish by attaching the chain end to the other end of the toggle clasp.

 

The End!
