Stitch up and exit out of the fourth bead of the second row on one end of the bracelet. Add two matte black TOHOs to the thread, followed by a TierraCast black finish pewter skull bead and another matte black TOHO. Bring your needle back down through the skull bead, the first two matte black TOHOs and the other side of the fourth bead. Pass through the TOHOs and skull beads several times, making sure the thread is tight and secure. Weave your needle over to the eighth end bead and add TOHOs and a skull bead in the same manner. Tie a knot at the end of the row and weave through a few beads to hide the knot and thread. Trim any excess thread.
