Method
1. Begin by cutting three 45cm long lengths of Beadalon wire.
2. Take one of the crimp beads and use this to attach all three wires to one side of the toggle clasp (they will all fit through one crimp bead but it will be quite tight!
3. Now begin threading the beads onto each strand starting with 60 seed beads on one strand, 60 seed beads on another strand and on the remaining strand thread 4 seed beads followed by 11 pearls all separated by a seed bead finishing this strand on a seed bead.
4. Next you'll need to loosely plait all three strands together, now holding them plaited thread the ends of all three wires through a 3mm silver plated bead followed by one of the large decorated flowers and then another 3mm silver plated bead - pull all the wires tight.
5. Next thread on 29 seed beads on one strand, 29 on another strand and on the remaining strand thread a seed bead followed by 5 pearls all separted by a seed bead, finish this strand on a seed bead and repeat step 4.
6. Repeat steps 5 & 4 until you have used the remaining large decorated flower beads.
7. Now repeat step 3 with the same quantities of beads on the different strands, once you have threaded the beads repeat step 4 and trim off any excess wire - you're done!
