Cut a length of TOHO Amiet beading thread in Auburn approximately three feet long. Make sure to stretch the thread to get out any kinks and so that it is ready for knotting.

Slide the thread through the opening on one side of the top of your patina pendant. Go behind the pendant and out through the opening on the other side of the top of the pendant. Center the pendant on the thread.

Wrap and knot one end of the thread around the opening on the pendant.

Add three Dakota Stones Venus jasper 4mm faceted round beads to this side of the thread and pull them all the way down to the pendant. Make a knot above the beads.

Continue adding patterns of 4mm beads and Dakota Stones Venus jasper 6mm faceted round beads to this side of the thread by knotting them in place. We added the beads in patterns of three 4mm beads, one 6mm bead, or a pattern of 4mm, 6mm, and 4mm. We left some space in the thread between each pattern, for an organic look.

Repeat steps 4-6 on the other side of the thread.

Trim your thread ends to the length you desire, keeping in mind the clasp will add about one inch of length.

Knot one end of your thread to the jump ring attached to the loop component of the brass-plated oval flower toggle clasp with patina finish. Use a thread burner to secure and finish the knot.

Attach a 6mm 18 gauge brass jump ring with patina finish to the bar component of the toggle and knot the other end of your thread to this jump ring. Use a thread burner to secure and finish the knot.
