Retired - Bohemia Bracelet

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. Begin by threading a delica and a Czech glass flower onto a headpin. Make a wrapped wire loop on the headpin, just above the flower, and trim off excess wire. Create six more of these flower dangles, for a total of seven, and set them aside.
2. Use your flush cutters to cut a length of beading wire which is approximately one foot long. Secure one end of the beading wire with a Bead Stopper.
3. Onto your wire, thread the following: a brass oxide heishe spacer, a 6mm Czech druk bead, a flower dangle, a 6mm Czech druk bead, a brass oxide heishe spacer, and a turquoise fluted cathedral bead.
4. Repeat this stringing sequence five more times, ending each sequence with a different colored fluted cathedral bead. e.g. first sequence ended with turquoise, second sequence ends with red, third: black, repeat.
5. After you have strung the last sequence, string an additional brass oxide heishe spacer, a 6mm Czech druk bead, a flower dangle, a 6mm Czech druk bead, and another brass oxide heishe spacer.
6. Onto the end of your strand thread a brass crimp bead, but do not crimp it yet.
7. Thread the end of the strand through the loop on one half of the toggle clasp, back through the crimp bead and several consecutive beads, pull the wire snug, and crimp the crimp bead.
8. Remove the Bead Stopper from the other end of the bracelet and repeat the previous step here.
9. Place a crimp bead cover over each of the crimp beads and gently squeeze them closed.
10. Trim off excess beading wire.
