PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER:
To determine the length of your bracelet, measure around you wrist.  With needle and crochet thread string enough beads to get your wrist measurement.  Sk 1 st on back and knot thread around next st.  Add a couple of inches to your string and cut there.  Using your crochet hook, insert behind a st in the top motif in last rnd completed, yo, pull through thread until beads are touching the back of the top motif, knot off.  Rep this 3 more times. Sew or glue a small amount of Velcro to the back of the top motif and front of the back fastener.
