This bracelet measures approximately 7 inches. To modify the length, simply adjust the number of beads strung or length of chain respectively.
- Open one jump ring and attach it to the flame charm. Close the jump ring.
- Cut off 8 inches of beading wire and attach a bead stopper about two inches from one end.
- String on the beads in the following order: 1 bead cap, 1 bead, 2 bead caps, 1 bead, 2 bead caps, 1 bead, 2 bead caps, 1 bead, 2 bead caps, 1 bead, 1 bead cap, 1 jump ring with flame charm. Now reverse the pattern to mirror this on the second half of the bracelet.
- String on one crimp tube. Thread the wire through a thread protector and back down into 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.
- Move to the beginning side of the bracelet and remove the bead stopper. Repeat the above step on this side. Before stringing the wire back through the crimp tube, string on one lobster clasp to the wire protector.
- Take one head pin and string on one bead, make a wrapped wire loop. Set aside.
- Open one link of the chain, same as you would a jump ring, and attach it to the wire protector on the first side of the bracelet. Determine how long you want this chain extender to be and attach the wrapped wire loop to the final link in the chain by opening the link of chain.
