Tip: When you string the dangles and charms, make sure they all face the same direction.

Steps

  1. Connect the silver evil eye charm to a silver jump ring; set aside. Connect a brass evil eye charm to a brass jump ring and set aside; connect a gold evil eye charm to a brass jump ring and set aside.
  2. Connect the silver lotus charm to a silver jump ring; set aside. Repeat with the gold lotus charm and brass jump ring.
  3. Use the elastic to string 1 gemstone bead, 1 brass evil eye dangle, 2 gemstone beads, the silver beckoning kitty charm, 2 gemstone beads, 1 spacer, the brass lotus charm dangle, 2 spacers, 2 gemstone beads, the silver Ganesh charm, 2 gemstone beads, 1 gold evil eye dangle, 2 gemstone beads, the gold beckoning kitty charm, 2 gemstone beads, the silver evil eye dangle, 2 gemstone beads, the gold Ganesh charm, 2 gemstone beads, the silver lotus charm dangle, and 1 gemstone bead.
  4. Snug the beads and tie a surgeons knot (Fig 1) with the cord ends to form a circle. Note: The beads should have enough room between them to move freely, but no cord should show. Dot the knot with a bit of nail polish and hold the beads apart while the polish dries.
  5. Trim the extra cord. Slide the knot into the nearest bead.
