Alicia Bracelet (Reboot)

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.

1. Cut a piece of wire that is 22" in length.
2. Onto one side of the wire, thread 29 11/0 gold seed beads. Slide them down so that they are in the center of the wire.
3. Thread one duo bead on to both ends of the wire, threading one end of the wire through one hole and the other end through the second hole. This will keep your wires separated. Think of the wires being a left and a right wire.
4. You will string the remaining beads in this pattern:
5. One gold bead, one superduo, one gold bead on the left wire. One gold bead, one superduo, one gold bead on the right wire. Thread one superduo on to both ends of the wire, with each wire going through one of the holes.
6. Once you have strung 6 3/4 inches (or your desired length), take both ends of the wire and thread on one crimp tube. Thread both ends of the wire through the loop of the button and back down through the crimp tube. Pull snug. Crimp the crimp tube. Clip the ends of the wire.
7. To close the bracelet, slip the gold seed bead loop over the button.
8. All done!
