This bracelet measures about 7 inches. Simply add or subtract the number of beaded links to achieve your desired length.
- Please watch our video: How to Use the One Step Wire Looping Pliers. From what you learned in this video we are going to be doing a similar technique but we will be creating an eye pin first.
- Cut off about 3 inches of wire. Thread the wire through the pliers so that the end is just coming out the hole at the top. Squeeze the pliers to make an eye pin. Make sure that your loop sits center on the wire. You may need to pull the wire back to center it.
- Next string on one 8mm bead. Now you will string the wire through the pliers, as seen in the video, give it a squeeze and you have your second loop. Set this piece aside.
- You will repeat the above process until you have six more 8mm beads and eight 4mm beads.
- Now opening the loops same as you would a jump ring, attach one end of the magnetic clasp to one 4mm bead. Close the loop.
- Attach one 8mm bead to the 4mm bead, close the loop. Continue to alternate the sizes until you have reached the other end of the bracelet. Please see photo for reference.
- Once you have reached the other side attach the other end of the clasp and you're all done!
