seed bead sew through the pearl and the seed bead right outside that pearl.

7. The seed bead will act as an anchor. *Sew back up through the crystal only then add 5 seed beads and one crystal. Sew through the next seed bead making a bridge over the next pearl. * Repeat from *to* once.

8.

Add 5 seed beads. Sew down through the very 1st crystal in the set making a square. Sew through the seed bead under the crystal then back up through the crystal.At this point you can choose which way to decorate the top of the square.

9. For both a. and b. sew through the next 3 seed beads.

a. Next sew through the middle seed bead on the next wall of the square. Do this 2 more times then sew through the middle seed bead that you first came out of as seen in the photo. Pull thread tight bringing all 4 beads to the center. Add 1 seed bead, 1 crystal, 1 seed bead then sew through the seed bead opposite the one you just exited.

Go through the next pearl and begin adding the corner seed beads again. Repeat the

steps until you reach the end.

For style b:After you exit the 3rd seed bead pick up 2 seed beads then sew through the center bead on the next wall. Continue adding 2 beads until you reach the final wall of the square. Sew through the very first seed bead of the square and pick up 1 seed bead, 1 crystal, 1 seed bead. Sew through the center seed bead on the opposite wall.

10. Sew down through the next two seed beads and the next crystal then through the center pearl to begin the next set. At this point you add the seed beads to each corner and repeat the whole process until you reach the end of the bracelet.

11. To add the crystals down the sides sew through pearls until you are in the first pearls that are side by side. There should be two seed beads between them. Sew through a seed bead, *pick up a crystal, sew through the next seed bead and pearl and seed bead. Repeat from * until the end of one side. Sew through the end pearl and repeat the process on the other side.

12. To add the toggles to the end sew through the end pearl if you aren’t already there. Add approximately 10 seed beads and sew back through the pearl.

13. Sew up through ½ of the seed beads and add 3 seed beads, toggle ring and 3 more seed beads.Sew back down through the other ½ of the seed beads on the pearl.Try and go through the seed beads 1 or 2 more times to strengthen the toggle connection.

For the toggle bar end repeat step 12 then add 5 or 6 (or more) seed beads depending on the length you need for your wrist. Also, the bar end of the toggle needs a little extra space in order to easily feed through the ring end. In the example I’ve added 6. You will go through the toggle bar then add 3 more. Skip the 1st 3 seed beads on the other side of the toggle bar and sew through the next 3 seed beads then down through the other ½ of the beads on the pearl.

Toggle ends should end up looking similar to the last photos.
