Materials
1. Take one end of your Buddy Braids wire and thread 1 crimp bead approximately an inch from the end. Thread the bar end of your toggle clasp. Thread the end back through the crimp bead. Using crimping pliers (or any pliers you have) squeeze the crimp bead about a 1/4th of an inch away from the clasp. See illustration 1. Trim the excess leaving about a half an inch, you will thread the beads over both.

4. Thread 1 crimp bead and the round part of your toggle clasp. Thread the wire back through the crimp bead after going through the loop on the toggle clasp. Thread the wire through Light Teal Glass Pearl (see illustration 3). Using your pliers, squeeze the crimp bead about a 1/4th of an inch away from the clasp and an 1/8th of inch away from the last bead to have room for your crimp cover. Trim the excess wire as close to the bead as you can.

5. Add your crimp cover by placing it over your crimp bead and squeezing it closed.
You’re done!! These directions make a necklace that is approximately 26 inches long. If you need to change the length just add or subtract beads. You can use this pattern with any color beads you wish!!
