3) Add a stick bead + blue bead + stick bead on the string (red), loop the other string (blue) through the metal bead

4) Loop the red string through the next blue bead in the circle. Add a new blue bead and a stick bead to the blue string. Loop red string through the stick bead.

5) Repeat the process until you have ten sticks. For the last one, put the string through the blue bead and then the metal stick. Then add a blue bead to finish the layer.

6) For the second layer, add red and white beads to the outer circle. Put one red, go through the blue, put one white and repeat the process for half of the circle, and do the other half with the other string. 

7) Put the white pearl + two blue beads + hook + two blue beads through the line. Loop through the pearl then through the blue bead. Pull and done. 

8) Tie the knot three times and you are finished!
