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.

Finished bracelet size: approximately 7 inches.

Before you begin, you'll need to trim down your triangle jump rings slightly. Use a pair of flush cutters to trim just about a millimeter from each side of the triangle jump rings where they open. This will allow the triangle jump rings to close more tightly around the buttons. Be sure to wear eye protection when you do this, as the tiny ends tend to fly around when you snip them.
Place a sterling silver triangle jump ring into each hole of your eight crystal buttons, closing them down all the way.
Then use a sterling silver oval jump ring to connect each triangle jump ring to the next, with the buttons going from lightest to darkest color.
Use an oval jump ring on each end to attach the sides of a sterling silver 9mm toggle clasp.
