2nd, slide a crimp bead onto tiger tail and then back through to the bead, finally crash the crimp bead with the flat plier to make a little loop, remembering to cut the extra tails;
3rd, string nine 3mm seed beads first, and then a golden crimp bead and a silver crimp bead in sequence;
4th, continue threading nine 2mm seed beads and a silver crimp bead, a golden crimp bead;
5th, regard this golden crimp bead as the symmetric point, and then sliding beads at the reverse sequence of the left part as picture shows;
6th, repeat the 2nd in step2 to make another loop.

Step3: Make the long string of beads

1st, cut about 15cm tiger tail and repeat the 2nd of step2 to make a loop;
2nd, string six silver crimp beads, a golden crimp bead and twelve 2mm seed beads in order;

4th, go on threading nine 2mm seed beads, a golden crimp bead, a silver crimp bead, a golden crimp bead and an acrylic bead in order;
5th, suppose the acrylic bead as symmetry point, and then beading beads at the reverse order of the left part as picture shows;
