Measure out two 14 in. lengths of Beadalon 19 Strand wire. Hold both wires together and place a crimp bead 1/2 in. from the end. String the wires through half of the clasp and back into the crimp bead to form a loop. Using the crimper, secure the crimp bead.
-
Place each strand through the opposite side of a blue E bead. Pull the strands gently until the bead is vertical and the strand ends are even. Repeat the technique using a red bead. Adjust the wire between the first two beads to about 1/8–1/4 in. String beads in the following color order: blue, red, orange, yellow, pink, green until the desired length is reached.

Hold the wire ends together and string a crimp bead 1/2 in. from the end. String the ends through half of the clasp and place them back into the crimp bead to form a loop. Using the crimper, secure the crimp bead to finish the anklet.
