These instructions will make a bracelet that measures approximately 7 inches long. To adjust the finished length, simply cut your chain pieces longer or shorter, accordingly. The clasp will add about 1/2" to the length.
- Cut two lengths of chain each 6.5" long.
- Place an eye pin through one hole of a pyramid bead. Create a simple loop on the other end of the bead. Repeat with a second eye pin in the second bead hole. Repeat this process with two more pyramid beads.
- Place a black bugle bead onto an eye pin and create a simple loop. Repeat with 11 more bugle beads and eye pins.
- Find the center link of a piece of chain. Attach the loops on one side of a pyramid bead to the links to either side of the center. Repeat to attach the other length of chain to the other side of the bead.
- Skip three links to the right from where the pyramid bead is attached and attach a bugle bead to both sides of chain with the eye pin loops. Skip one link and attach another bugle bead. Skip on link and attach a third bugle bead.
- Skip three links to the right and attach another pyramid bead. Then skip three more links and attach another series of three bugle beads as before.
- Now finish the left half of the beads as you did for the right.
- Take a jump ring and place the last two links on the right side of the chain into the jump ring. Before you close the ring, add on one half of a magnetic clasp. Close the ring.
- Complete the other side of the bracelet in the same way.
