Okay, now we'll set up for our next strand. You want to thread your nylon thread and we'll
place the nylon thread over our marking and staple that right on the center that marking.
Oops, that staple didn't work. Okay, and this time we're going to start our first cluster,
is going to end in between the clusters of our first strand. So that you sort of alternate
the clusters. It gives it a fuller look. So I've set up my clusters what I want to string
for this strand and I place those on and put the crimp bead on at the end, there's the
last bead and then the little crimp bead. We'll pull that up and we want to start this
cluster in between the placement of the clusters of the first strand. Then take your, now if
you find that your nylon is sliding in your staple you might want to put a bit of tape
just to hold that so it won't slide. Then we're going to go on to our next cluster and
that one is going to be placed about three or four inches down from this one. It should
land in between the two clusters of the first strand. You can also add in here instead of clusters
you can also add in larger focal beads. There's our second cluster and we're going to crimp
that. Crimp it nice and tight so it doesn't slide. Then move down and our next strand
is going to end a half an inch shorter than our first strand. So you place your beads
on and since this end bead goes through, it's not a pennant bead, we'll use a small seed
bead to hold it on. We're not going through the seed bead, we're going to go around the
seed bead, go back up through the end bead and just hold. The nylon is very funny to
work with. Hold that end bead and pull up the nylon until you have the right measurement.
You could slide it up and down and then we're going to tie that end bead off. I'm going
to trim it first, so that I don't have so much to work with and then I'll tie that off.
