Cut two lengths of the 10mm brass oxide brass circular cable chain each approximately 11 links long. Open the link on the end of one chain length and attach it to the green porcelain cross curved link. Repeat with the other chain length on the other end of the cross. This will be the center strand of your bracelet, so all of the other strands will connect to this one. Open the link on one end of the strand and attach the 15x8mm antique brass-plated trigger clasp. Close the link.

String a TOHO 8/0 bead round in matte opaque terra cotta onto a TierraCast 2-inch 20 gauge brass oxide pewter head pin, followed by a Czech glass olive green luster with Picasso finish saucer bead, a Czech glass 6x9mm teal and blue with Picasso finish faceted roundel bead and another TOHO. Attach this dangle to the same link the clasp is attached to by creating a wrapped loop. Create another dangle with the same pattern and attach it to the third link in the chain on the other end of the strand. These links with the dangles attached are where you'll be attaching your other strands. The dangles help you to find where to clasp your bracelet when it is completed.

Cut two lengths of chain approximately 24 links long. Attach the ends to the links marked with the dangles, on either side of your center strand.

Cut a length of jewelry wire approximately 9 inches long. Slide a TierraCast 2x2mm brass oxide brass crimp tube onto the wire, followed by one link of chain.

• One saucer bead
• One TOHO
• One roundel bead
• One TOHO
• One saucer bead
• Three TOHOs

Repeat this pattern four times and then add two TOHOs to the strand. Crimp the end of the strand to one link of chain using a crimp tube.
