1. Using the Designer Flush Cutter, cut one 14 inch section of .46mm 49 Strand Stringing Wire and two 5 foot sections of .30mm 19 Strand Stringing Wire. 2. Thread a #2 Crimp Bead onto all three strands of wire, leaving a 4-6 inch tail. 3. Using the Crimper Tool, place the crimp bead into the first station of the Crimper Tool and close the Crimper Tool over the bead. 4. Move the Crimp Bead into the second station of the Crimper Tool and close the tool over the bead, creating a nicely shaped “U”. 5. Trim the tails of the .30mm Stringing Wire, leaving the .46mm. 6. Using the Mighty Crimper Tool, cover the crimped bead with a Sparkle Crimp Cover. 7. Thread a #2 Crimp Bead onto the tail of the .46mm Stringing Wire. 8. Thread the end of the tail through a 4mm Jump Ring and back through the Crimp Bead. Pull the loop close to the Sparkle Crimp Cover from Step 6.

9. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to crimp the Crimp Bead. Trim the tail as close to the crimp bead as possible using the Designer Flush Cutter. 10. Repeat Step 6 to cover the crimped bead with a Sparkle Crimp Cover. 11. Using Chain Nose Pliers, open the 4mm Jump Ring and thread on the 20mm Quick Link. Close the Jump Ring. 12. Refer to the instructions included with the Tying Station. Place the Quick Link over the peg on the Tying Station. 13. Replace the plate and tighten the wing nut. 14. Before placing the .46mm wire under the plate on the bottom of the Tying Station, thread on the 8mm Swarovski Crystal Bronze Faceted Round Beads. 15. Place the bottom plate over the .46mm wire. 16. Create flat square knots with the two .30mm wires over the .46mm base wire. • Bring the left wire over the base wire so that both wires together look like a number 4. • Bring the right wire under the base wire so that together the wires look like a mirrored number 4. • Bring each loose end through the loops. The left wire will go down through the right loop and the right wire will come up through the left loop. • Repeat the last steps in reverse by bringing the left wire under the base wire and the right wire over the base wire. Bring the loose ends through the loops - left end comes up through the right loop and the right end goes down through the left loop. • Pull the wires tightly to complete the knot. 17. Complete 4 knots. 18. Move one of the beads up against the last completed knot. 19. Capture the bead within your next knot. 20. Continue creating square knots, capturing the beads in every 8th knot. 21. When you have reached the end of the bracelet, remove the bracelet from the Tying Station. 22. Using Chain Nose Pliers, open the 4mm Jump Ring and remove the Quick Link. Close the Jump Ring. 23. Repeat Steps 2-10 to finish the strand with Crimp Beads and a Jump Ring. 24. Repeat Steps 1-23 using three strands of .46mm Stringing Wire to create a second strand. Capture alternating 8mm Swarovski Jet Faceted Round Beads and 6mm Swarovs-ki Smoked Topaz Faceted Round Beads within every 4th knot. 25. Repeat Steps 2-10 to begin the third strand of the bracelet, using only two strands of .46mm wire. 26. Thread an 8mm Swarovski Golden Shadow Faceted Round Bead onto one of the wires. 27. Thread a #2 Crimp Bead onto both wires.
