2 carved flower 12mm nut rounds
4” natural 6mm rhodonite stone rounds
4” freshwater potato pearls
4” light pink 5mm Czech glass faceted rounds

2 crimp tubes
1 6mm jump ring
Tools:
Wire nippers
2 pairs of chain-nose pliers
Bead Bugs
Time to create: 1 hour
Instructions:
1. Cut the flexible beading wire into two 10” pieces.
2. Holding both pieces of beading wire as one, thread the wire through one carved flower nut round, the loop of the white howlite connector, and back through the carved flower nut round, bringing the ends of the wire to meet the others so that the wires are folded in half with four strands emerging from the carved flower nut round.
3. Onto one strand, string 4” of freshwater pearls and place a bead bug on the wire to hold beads in place.
4. Onto the second strand, string 4” of 4mm tan matte rounds and place in the bead bug.
5. Onto the third strand, string 4” of rhodonite rounds and place in the bead bug.
6. Onto the fourth strand, string 4” of light pink Czech glass faceted rounds and place in the bead bug.
7. Holding all four wires as one, pass them through a carved flower nut round.
8. Divide the wires into two groups of two. String a crimp tube, pass the wires through the loop of the bar of the toggle clasp and pass back through the crimp tube. Flatten the crimp and trim excess wire. Repeat with the second pair of strands.
9. Enjoy!
