Step-By-Step Tutorial:

• First to make the special charm with the three dangling strands. For two of the strands do 12-[3] and for the other one alternate [3][5] four times.
• Cut 3 strands of wire about 2½” long for the charm.
• To make the charm first, attach one of the smaller pieces of wire to the bottom of the charm and attach it with a silver crimping bead, put the beads on, and close off with another crimping bead.
• Repeat the above process with the other two dangling parts of the charm. When your charm is done, set it aside for now.
• Now we’re going to make the strands. There are going to be three strands total. For the first strand do the following pattern (see the corresponding numbers above).
  - Repeat this pattern five times: [2][4][2][5][3][5][3][5][3][5][3][5][3][5]
  - Place 10-[3], then 1-[5], then 1-[4]
  - Leave a space for the special charm we’ll be placing in the center of the first strand.
  - Reverse the above three steps, mirroring the other side of the strand.
• For the second strand, do the following pattern:
  - Place 21-[2]
  - Alternate [5][1] 45 times, then end with another [5]
  - Place 21-[2] to end that strand
  
  For the third strand, do the following pattern:
  - Place 26-[4]
  - Place 120-[3]
  - Place 26-[4]
  
  Layout everything above onto your beadboard to make sure it looks good to you.
• Cut three strands of wire about 24″ long. You want it to be long enough for some wiggle room.
• Now attach one of the longer pieces of wire to one side of the toggle clasp with a crimping bead.
• String the first strand based on the above pattern.
• When the string is complete, attach the other side of the wire to the other end of the toggle clasp, and now you have a one strand necklace done.
• To add the next strand first attach the right side of the strand.
• Complete the same process of beading based on your layout and attach to the other side. Then do the same thing with the third strand.
• You’re finished! It’s a little teadeous to put on all the seed beads, but very simple to create this type of necklace with beads both small and large!
