Instructions

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. Cut 16 inches of Opelon and place a bead stopper 4 inches from the end. On the other end place a big eye needle.
  2. String on a gemstone bead followed by a seed bead. Repeat this sequence another 10 times. Add another gemstone bead.
  3. Next string on: 1 TierraCast tube bead, 1 gemstone bead, 1 seed bead, 1 TierraCast spacer bead with loop, 1 seed bead, 1 gemstone bead, and finally 1 more TierraCast tube bead.
  4. Go back to the start of your bracelet, remove the bead stopper.
  5. Take your two ends of Opelon, cross them, and tie a knot. Tie a double knot on top of the knot you just tied. Add a dab of GS Hypo Cement glue over your knot and then trim the tails. If you want to, you can weave your tails in a little for added security and also tie several additional knots.
  6. Finally, open a jump ring and link it to your spacer bead with loop as well as your Zola Elements charm. Close the jump ring.
