This show-stopping bracelet looks incredibly complicated to make but is really quite simple. It's the delicate pattern of the flatback that elevates the design into something truly special.

Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

Feel free to change the pattern of the flatback crystals—have fun! You will also need some toothpicks for this project to use as glue applicators.

Looking at the photo, and using a toothpick, place a dot of E6000 glue where you want to put a flatback on the TierraCast fern leaf focal. Then using your rhinestone pick-up tool, pick up and place a flatback crystal onto the glue. Follow the pattern in the photograph and place each flatback one by one. Do this for all three leaves and let dry overnight.
Place an Olive bead onto an eye pin. Create a simple wire loop right after the Olive bead. Trim excess wire. Create a total of 4 of these.
To connect your bracelet, you will be opening and closing the simple wire loops on the eye pin/crystal combos. You will open and close them just like jump rings. Connect your bracelet in the following order: half a clasp, crystal/eye pin, fern leaf, crystal/eye pin, fern leaf, crystal/eye pin, fern leaf, crystal/eye pin, 2nd half of the clasp. All done. Enjoy!
