Note: You must use memory wire cutters to cut memory wire. Do not attempt to use normal jewelry making cutters.
- Begin this bracelet by cutting your memory wire so it is a little more then one and a half loops around. Create a simple wire loop on one end. This loop will stop your beads from falling off once you string them on the wire.
- String on the memory wire: 1 3mm spacer bead, 3 seed beads, 1 6mm nugget spacer bead, 3 wood beads, 1 6mm nugget spacer bead, 3 seed beads, 1 3mm spacer bead, and 1 wood bead.
- Repeat the previous sequence 5 more times. Dependent upon how long your memory wire is you might need to leave off a few beads during the last sequence or even add a bead or two to complete the bracelet. You will want to make sure that you leave approximately 1/4 inch at the end of exposed wire so that you can create another loop in the next step.
- Create a simple wire loop on the end of your bracelet using your round nose pliers.
- Open a jump ring and and connect the bezel to one of the simple wire loops on your bracelet.
- Place a small dab of E6000 glue into your bezel setting and then set your crystal down into it. Let dry.
- Enjoy!
Design Tip: Let your glue dry for a full 24 hours before wearing.
