Directions

1. Cut a 7 foot piece of Nymo thread. Move the beading needle to the center. Slide on one green e-bead and eight seed beads. Wrap the seed beads around one of the closed jump rings and move the thread back through the e-bead, forming a loop around the jump ring. Tie a knot in the thread to hold the loop in place. Put a dab of Hypo Cement glue on   the knot and let dry.
2. Slide on six green e-beads, one white e-bead, one blue e-bead, and one white e-bead. Thread the needle around and back up through the last three green e-beads, forming a circle. There will be three green e-beads on one side of the circle, and a white/blue/white on the other side.
3. Slide on one green e-bead, one white, one blue, and one white. Move the needle around and back up through the last two green e-beads (from the previous loop), and the first green e-bead that has just been put on. Repeat this step until the piece is about five inches long from the jump ring. Note: You will always be threading through three green e-beads.
4. End this section with four more green e-beads, and eight seed beads. Wrap the seed beads around the other closed jump ring, and through the last e-bead, forming a loop around this jump ring like in Step 1. Tie a knot with the remaining thread between the last two e-beads. Glue the knot and let it dry. Thread the tail through a few of the green e-beads, and cut the remainder.
5. Slide three blue e-beads onto an 8mm open jump ring, then slide on the leaf connector. Close this jump ring around one of the 8mm closed jump rings. You may need two pliers- one to hold the jump ring and another to open and close it.
6. Attach the bar part of the toggle clasp to the other end of the leaf connector, using the 4mm jump ring.
7. Open the second 8mm open jump ring, slide on three blue e-beads and the hoop part of the toggle. Close this jump ring around the other closed jump ring.
