Beachy Multi-Strand Bracelet

First, cut a 10" [25.4 cm] length of transite cord for each bracelet strand.

Now, string beads as desired.

Thread one end of each beaded strand through a bright starfish, then tie to the loop on the round part of the toggle clasp. Tuck the ends inside the starfish and add a generous amount of glue to the knot.

Tie the other end of the strands to the loop on the bar part of the toggle clasp. Tuck the ends inside the adjacent beads and add a generous amount of glue to the knot. Let dry.

Make charms with some of the metal seaside animal beads and attach to the round part of the toggle clasp to hang from your bracelet.
TIP: To make the charms, slide a bead (or beads) onto a headpin. Bend the wire of the headpin in a 90° angle just above the bead. Grasp the headpin wire, about 3/8"-½" [0.3 cm-1.3 cm] from the bend, between the jaws of your round nose pliers. Rotate the pliers toward you, keeping a firm grip on the wire, until a small loop is formed. Trim excess wire.
