1. Begin with approximately two feet of thread. String on two Miyuki Twisted Bugle 2x12mm beads (TW2012) in color A.
2. Make a loop, by passing back through the the first TW2012, so that the two beads lay side by side.
3. Reinforce by passing down through the left and up the right TW2012. The two thread tails should now be exiting the same bead from opposite ends.
4. String one TW2012 bead.
5. Pass up through the TW2012 to the left.
6. Follow the thread path from step 5 to reinforce the loop.
7. Pass back down through the TW2012 bead to the right.
8. Repeat steps 4-7 until six TW2012 beads have been stitched together. The thread should be exiting the second TW2012 from the end.
9. Reinforce by passing back through the two TW2012 beads to the left. The added structure will help this flag shaped section hold its form.
10. Trim both thread tails.
11. Repeat until there are four flags in color A.
12. Stitch four flags in color B and three in color C.
13. Cut a 2 foot length of C-Flex Beading Wire in .012. Fold a piece of tape across the C-Flex, approximately 8.5" from one end. String on the first flag in color A.
14. String one 11/0 seed bead, one 2.8mm Triangle Spacer bead (SPTR28) and one more 11/0 bead.
15. String one flag in color B, and another section of 11/0, SPTR28, and 11/0 beads.
16. Repeat step 15 with color C.
17. Continue this pattern until all flags are strung. Remove the tape from the C-Flex and center the flags on the wire.
18. String one 11/0, one SPTR28, one 11/0 bead and a TW2012 bead in color C. Repeat this pattern alternating the TW2012 colors between A, B, and C.
19. Continue this pattern until there are nine TW2012 beads on the right side of the necklace. Fold tape over the end of the C-Flex to keep the beads from slipping off.
20. Repeat step 18 on the left side of the necklace, stringing the TW2012 beads in a C, B, A pattern. Continue until there are nine TW2012 beads.
21. String one 2mm crimp bead, one 11/0, one SPTR28, and one 11/0.
22. String through the loop of the lobster claw clasp.
23. Pass the C-Flex down through the seed beads, crimp and TW2012 bead.
24. Flatten the crimp bead with the chain nose pliers.
25. Cut off excess C-Flex.
26. Use the chain nose pliers to gently close the crimp cover over the crimp bead.
27. Repeat steps 21-26 attaching the soldered ring to the right side of the necklace.
