Retired - Enchanted Evening Austrian Crystal 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. To begin this project, set your Austrian crystal fancy stone into its setting using the popsicle stick technique as demonstrated in the video: Quick Tip: How to Set an Austrian Crystal Fancy Stone with a Popsicle Stick.
2. Separate out your clasp so there are two parts. Cut 2 lengths of beading wire, 16 inches long each. It will be the same technique to create both sides of your bracelet. To make one side, follow the directions below:
3. Take one of your lengths of beading wire and feed one end through one of the holes on one side of your setting (going from outside in). Loop the wire around so it exits the second hole on the same side of the setting. Pull the wire so that you have equal lengths on each side.
4. Onto each strand string one spacer bead, one 8mm pearl, one spacer bead, one 6mm pearl, and one more spacer bead. Now thread both wires through an Austrian crystal 2-hole spike bead (one wire through each hole, making sure the spike bead is facing up).
5. Next string one spacer bead onto each strand exiting the spike bead, then thread both strands through another spacer bead, one 8mm pearl, and another spacer bead.
6. Separate the strands again and string one spacer bead onto each strand and then feed each strand through a spike bead and string on another spacer bead onto each.
7. Bring the strands together again and feed both through a spacer bead, an 8mm pearl, and a spacer bead.
8. Next string both strands through a crimp tube, the loop on the end of the clasp, and back through the crimp tube. Pull snug so that you do not have any gaps in the beading. Just do not pull too tight that your bracelet is rigid. Crimp the crimp tube and trim off excess wire. NOTE: Both wires are going through the same crimp tube.
9. Place a crimp bead cover over the crimped crimp tube.
10. Repeat the same beading process on the other side of your bracelet.
11. All done! Enjoy!
