To make the drops: You will need about 32 Head Pins for this. You choose whatever beads you like for the drops, using different beads. We did not use the Emerald Frosted Drops or the Sapphire w/Green Dots Bumpy Bead to make drops.
Step 1. On each of the 32 Head Pins place one bead.
Step 2. Using a Wire Cutter cut off the excess Head Pin, leaving approximately 3/16". Using Flat Nose Pliers, bend the 3/16" piece of wire 90°. Carefully bend the 3/16" piece of wire into a loop but do not close tightly. Set aside until all drops are completed.

Directions to assemble the bracelet:
Step 1. Cut approximately 10 inches of SoftFlex.
Step 2. String SoftFlex through a Crimp Bead and one end of the Toggle and then double back through the Crimp Bead. Crush the crimp bead and trim excess SoftFlex.
Step 3. Start stringing beads in no particular order and in between each of the beads, place two drops. Keep stringing until you have approximately 6 ½ inches of wire covered or more depending on how big you want your bracelet.
Step 4. Repeat Step 2 using the other end of the Toggle.
