2. Add:
1 x red 6mm glass
1 x cream 10mm iced bead
1 x red 6 mm glass
2 x gold metallised bead
1 x cream 3mm pearl
1 x gold metallised bead
1 x red bugle
1 x gold metallised bead
1 x cream 3mm pearl
2 gold metallised bead
3. Repeat step 2 twice more.
4. Finally, add the following:
1 x red 6mm glass
1 x cream 10mm iced bead
1 x red 6mm glass
5 x gold metallised beads
1 x red 6mm glass
5 x gold metallised beads
5. Form a loop with the last 11 beads (5 gold metallised beads, 1 red 6mm glass and 5 gold metallised beads) by passing the beading needle back through the penultimate red 6mm glass bead, then the cream 10mm iced bead and finally the red 6mm glass bead (see template - diagram 1).
6. Thread on the following before passing the needle and thread through the next grouping of a red 6mm glass bead on either side of a cream 10mm iced bead (see template - diagram 2):
1 x gold metallised bead
2 x cream 3mm pearl
1 x gold metallised bead
1 x red bugle
1 x gold metallised bead
2 x cream 3mm pearl
1 x gold metallised bead
7. Repeat twice more, between each of the groupings of a red 6mm glass bead on either side of a cream iced 10mm bead.
8. Continue to run the needle and thread through the 20 gold metallised beads at the end.
9. Form a loop with the 20 gold metallised beads by passing the needle and thread back through the first grouping of a red 6mm glass bead on either side of a cream 10mm iced bead.
10. Repeat steps 6 and 7.
11. Continue to pass the needle and thread through the loop of 5 gold metallised beads, the red 6mm glass bead and the remaining 5 gold metallised beads (this will make the loop stronger). Tie a knot, glue the knot and trim excess thread. (See template - diagram 3.)
