Begin by stringing three separate strands as follows:

Strand #1: String on [one SPAG, one RC, one SPAG, one PS]; repeat four more times. Next, string [one SPAG, one RC]. Repeat 19 more times. Then, string [one SPAG, one RC, one SPAG, one PS]. Repeat four more times. End by stringing one SPAG, one RC, and one SPAG. Set aside.

Strand #2: String on [one PSB, one MB]. Repeat 63 more times. End by adding one PSB. Set aside.

Strand #3: String on [one GD, one RC, one GD, one PD]. Repeat 55 more times. End by stringing [one GD, one RC, one GD]. Set aside.

Make Toggle: Using PSB and a long piece of double fireline or nymo, make a peyote strip 14 beads across and 12 rows high. Sew the top and bottom rows together to make a tube. Leave your needle and thread attached.

Assembly: With one tail of Strand #1, go through a crimp bead, the jump ring, and back through the crimp bead and at least 1” of beads on the strand. Close crimp securely. Repeat with Strands #2 and #3 with the same jump ring.

Adding the Toggle: Work your thread through to the middle of the peyote tube and string on 3 PSB. Put your needle directly through the tube to the other side and string on 7 PSB and the jump ring. Go back and fourth through the two loops and end off by burying your thread in the peyote tube.

Using the other tail of Strand #1, string on the large gemstone donut, one crimp bead and enough PSB to act as a loop for the toggle (approximately 27) and go back through the crimp, the gemstone donut and at least 1” of the beads on the strand. Close crimp securely. Repeat with Strands #2 and #3.
