Pick up one of the gemstones, leaving a little bit of a tail thread. Pass through the first loop in the clasp and go back through the gemstone. Tie a knot to keep the bead in place.

Be careful to have the clasp facing the proper direction to match the other side. Thread through the loop and back through all the beads. Tie a square knot at the end, burn down the loose ends. 3. Repeat the steps to create the next 4 strands of the bracelet. Glue the Potomac crystal long oval into the clasp. Choose the gemstones of your liking and make the pattern of your choice.
