This is John Mendez with Expert Village and we have strung one strand on our clasp. And now what we are going to do is we are going to measure that out to, so that we have enough for the bracelet when we start stringing all of the bars and beads together. So what I am going to do is measure it to the one that I already have but basic bracelets are about seven inches long and since this is a box bracelet we will try and make this exactly seven so that it fits nice and tight on the wrist. So we will go ahead and we will measure out seven inches but you will need extra because you will need to make another loop at the other end. So that is a perfect seven inches so we will go about ten inches and cut that off. And then we will go ahead and we will add the second one to the next loop and then since this has so many loops and we are only using four you are going to skip one and then do another one and then skip one and then do another one. It kind of sounds strange but it does turn out okay in the end. So I will show you how to do that when you come back.
