Retired - Fresh Cut Flowers 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 with four separate head pins, and thread the following on each: a 6/0 yellow Czech seed bead, an orange lucite flower, a blue lucite flower, a hot pink lucite flower, a bright green lucite leaf, and a small silver daisy spacer. Create a wrapped wire loop on each head pin and trim off excess wire. Set these lucite flower dangles aside.
2. Using your flush cutters, cut a piece of beading wire at one foot long. Secure one end of your wire with a Bead Stopper.
3. Onto your beading wire, thread five turquoise Czech fire polish beads and a lucite flower dangle. Repeat this stringing sequence three more times, followed by five more turquoise Czech fire polish beads.
4. Onto the very end of your strand, thread a crimp tube- but do not crimp it yet. Thread your wire through the loop on one half of your toggle clasp and back through the crimp tube and several consecutive beads. Pull the wire snug, leaving a little wiggle room for the clasp, and crimp your tube.
5. Remove the Bead Stopper from the opposite end of your bracelet and repeat the previous step. Trim excess wire from both ends of the bracelet.
6. Place a crimp bead cover over each of the crimps and gently squeeze shut.
