This is John Mendez with Expert Village and we are going to put our second bar on. We have put one bar and one set of bicone beads and making sure that you keep your head pin head at one end and the soldered end at the other end so that it looks nice and clean. And you want to make sure that your cross bars are put on properly and I will show you the difference right now. Your cross bars will be going this way, right side up. And if you do it wrong it will look like this. Your cross bar will be underneath and one will be above and that is not the way you want it because eventually as you go along it will start to stair step and it wont lay properly. So you want to make sure that that cross bar is always facing the top when you string it. So we will go ahead and string them one by one making sure that you grab the right strand for each loop. We have got three on. And you can pretty much string them all one by one in the beginning but as you get closer and closer to the edge you will want to put them all on at one time because it's going to start getting really tight. And here is my last one and I will show you your pattern. There we go and there is your beginning pattern of the box crystal bracelet.
