- Take one of the pieces of tigertail and thread on a crimp. Thread through the top hole in the four strand flower drop and then back through the crimp. Squash the crimp and cut off any excess wire. This will be strand 1 (S1).
- Take the next piece of tigertail and thread on a crimp. Thread through the 2nd hole in the four strand flower drop and then back through the crimp. Squash the crimp and cut off any excess wire. This will be strand 2 (S2).
- Take the next piece of tigertail and thread on a crimp. Thread through the 3rd hole in the four strand flower drop and then back through the crimp. Squash the crimp and cut off any excess wire. This will be strand 3 (S3).
- Take the next piece of tigertail and thread on a crimp. Thread through the bottom hole in the four strand flower drop and then back through the crimp. Squash the crimp and cut off any excess wire. This will be strand 4 (S4).

Now thread a decorative metal bead with a large hole onto each strand. Next, thread the following onto their respective strands:

Repeat pattern another 4 times. Now thread on:

S1:		- 4 4mm cats eye beads
		- right-hand side of the two strand fancy filigree spacer (FS1)
S2:		- a 4mm cats eye bead
		- right-hand side of the two strand fancy filigree spacer (FS2)
		- a 4mm cats eye bead

		- a 4mm cats eye bead
S4:		- 4 4mm cats eye beads

Now thread a decorative metal bead with a large hole, followed by a small crimp onto each strand. Take S1 and thread through the top hole in the second four strand flower drop. Thread back through the crimp, pull tight and crimp down. Cut off any excess tigertail. Repeat for each strand, making sure you thread the right strand through the right hole. Open up one of the jump rings (as they are quite strong, you will need to use 2 sets of pliers, your crimping pliers and twirly wirlies will be fine) and thread on one of the four strand flower drops and the circle part of the toggle clasp. Close the jump ring securely. Open up another jump ring and thread onto the other four strand flower drop. Add the bar part of the toggle clasp and close securely.
