Repeat Step 2 to secure the strand.
Step 4
Repeat Step 2 using the other length of beading wire.
String on one bugle bead and one 6mm round. Repeat this pattern a total of 12 times then finish by adding one bugle bead. Repeat Step 2 to secure the strand.
Step 5
Attach a 5mm jump ring to one end of each of the beaded strands created in Steps 3 and 4.
Attach a 5mm jump ring to one end of each length of blue chain. Repeat with the rainbow chain.
Attach the four jump rings to an eye pin. Pass the eye pin through the large end of a cone and a 6mm round. Create a wrapped loop.
