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.

This bracelet measures approximately 7.5 inches. To modify the length, simply adjust the number of beads strung respectively. By following the instructions below you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.
  1. To make the bracelet, cut off 14 inches of beading wire. Add a bead stopper about 3 inches from one end.
  2. String on the beads in this order: 1 crystal then 1 pearl. Repeat 11 times, and finish with 1 crystal.
  3. String on one crimp tube. Thread the wire through the loop on one side of the magnetic clasp. Thread the beading wire back through the crimp tube and pull snug. Crimp the crimp tube. Thread the wire back through a few adjacent beads. Trim any excess wire. Add a crimp cover.
  4. Move to the beginning side of the bracelet and remove the bead stopper. Repeat the above step on this side of the bracelet. Make sure you don't pull too taut because you want the bracelet to have a nice bend when closed.
  5. For the earrings, take one headpin and string on 1 crystal, 1 pearl and 1 crystal. Make a wrapped wire loop. Trim any excess wire.
  6. Open the loop of one earring hook, same as you would a jump ring and attach the pearl drop to the loop. Close the loop.
