Instructions
1. Cut the beading wire length in half.
2. Pass one piece of beading wire through the holes on one side of the watch so the beading wire is centered.
3. String a 4mm bicone and a pearl onto each end of the beading wire.
4. Pass the beading wire ends through opposite sides of a 6mm bicone.
5. Repeat Steps 3-4 four more times.
6. String a 4mm bicone and a pearl onto one beading wire end and pass the wire end through a hole in the clasp.
7. String a crimp bead onto the wire and pull gently so the last bead is snug against the clasp. Use chain nose pliers to flatten the crimp inside the clasp.
8. Cut off any extra beading wire.
9. Repeat Steps 6-8 to attach the other beading wire end to the other hole in the clasp.
10. Follow Steps 2-9 to attach a matching watchband for the other side of the watch face.
