These instructions will give you a bracelet that is approximately 6 inches. To adjust the length, add or subtract the number of beads.
- To begin, cut four lengths of beading wire 10 inches each.
- Take all four stands and space them out in a bead stopper. Lay them our in front of you. And count from the top down: 1, 2, 3, 4.
- To wire 1, string: 1 seed bead, 1 round bead, 1 seed bead, and 1 grey silky bead.
- To wire 2, string: 1 seed bead, 1 white silky bead, and 1 seed bead. Then string thru the grey silky bead that is on wire 1.
- To wire 3, string: 1 seed bead, then string thru the white silky bead that is on wire 2. And string one more seed bead.
- To wire 4, string: 1 seed bead, 1 round bead, 1 seed bead, and the bottom hole of 1 yellow silky bead. Now take wire 3 and string it thru the top hole of this yellow bead.
- You will repeat this process until you have 12 grey, 13 white, and 12 yellow silky beads. If you would like a longer bracelet just keep going with the pattern. Make sure that you end the beading the same way you started, with the seed beads.
- On one end, string one crimp tube onto one wire. Thread it through one closed jump ring and back through the crimp tube. Pull snug and crimp the crimp tube.
- Repeat the above process so that on each side you have wires 1 and 2 on the same jump ring and wires 3 and 4 on a second jump ring.
- To each closed jump ring you will attach one open jump ring and one end of the corresponding magnetic clasp. Close the jump rings.
- All done!
