Tools:

Bead Crimping Tool
Wire Cutters

Materials:

2 pieces, each 12"/300mm long of 0.45mm pink Tigertail
2 sterling silver 2mm crimps
16 purple velvet 4mm bicone Swarovski crystals
8 dark lavender size 11º seed beads
8 Bali silver 4mm spacers
20 purple size 8º seed beads
1 sterling silver toggle clasp
4 purple lampwork beads
1 watch face

2. Thread a crystal, 11º seed bead, and another crystal on one wire, and repeat on the opposite wire

4. Thread a bali spacer over both wires and place against the 8º seed bead then a lampwork bead, followed by another bali spacer and 8º seed bead

5. Thread a crystal, 11º seed bead and another crystal on one wire, and repeat on the opposite wire

6. Repeat steps 3 to 4, and duplicate on the other watch loop.

Tape the ends to prevent the beads from coming off and check for size, allowing for the extra loop of seed beads and toggle to come. This particular finished watch fitted me perfectly measuring 7"/180mm (I have a slim wrist), I have an alternative longer toggle available if required, check the available bead kits

7. Add a crimp bead over the 2 wires, thread 3 8º seed beads and the toggle ring, 3 more 8º seed beads. Run the wires back through the crimp and through the 8º seed bead

8. Adjust the crystals if needed to form into a square, and pull tiger tail firmly to hold in place
