1. Using two strands of Beadalon wire 28” string to the middle of both wires 8 Toho treasure beads, the two wires to the left will be L1 and L2, the two wires to the right will be R1 and R2.
2. String L1&L2 into two of the holes in the crystal innovations slider, then string on another 8 treasure beads, then to through the hole at the opposite end of the slider, do the same on the R1&R2 side, make sure to keep the excess wires equal on both sides.
3. Using L1 string on 8 to seed beads, do the same with R2. Using L2 string on 3 treasure beads, do the same with R1, using both L2 and R1 string on one treasure bead. Using only L2 string on 4 more treasure beads, do the same with R1. This will form an X above the first metal slider.
4. Using L1&L2 string both through the next slider, do the same on the opposite side with R1&R2, follow instructions for step 2. Using the Treasure beads on the back side gives a more finished look (you can omit using beads on the back).
5. Using L1&L2 string on 3 treasure beads, 1 Swarovski bead, 1 sterling spacer bead, 1 Swarovski bead. Do the same using R1&R2.
6. Using only L1 string on 15 treasure beads, do the same with R2. Using only L2 string on 4 treasure beads, using only R1 string on 3 treasure beads, then string through 4’th treasure bead on L2 (this will cross L2 with R1) string 3 more treasure beads onto L2, then string through the 5’th bead on L1 (crossing L1), do the same (mirror image with L2 crossing R2) You now have L1 and R1 on your left, and R2 and L2 on your right. (Necklace is face down)
7. Using L1 string into a Swarovski bead, then string on 8 treasure beads, wrap around the front of the Swarovski bead and back through the bead, this will put a row of beads across the Swarovski bead. Then string on another 9 treasure beads.
8. Using R1 string on 10 treasure beads pass through the opposite side of the swarovski bead, add another 8 treasure beads and pass through the opposite direction creating a second row of treasure beads around the swarovski bead. Then string on 8 treasure beads, pass R1 into the last treasure bead on L1 and into the right hole of a crystal innovation slider.
9. String on to L1&R1 (inside the back of the slider) 4 treasure beads, split L1 and R1 adding 4 treasure beads to each and string each through the two holes opposite where the strands entered the slider. (1 hole will remain empty). Do the mirror of this on the right side with L2 and R2.
10. String on to L1 4 treasure beads, string onto R1 5 treasure beads, pass L1 through the 5’th bead and string 3 more treasure beads onto both, split the strands again and add.
