A triple strand bracelet owes its vibrance to the saturated colors and beautiful facets of these Chinese glass rondelles.
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.

These instructions will give you a bracelet that is approximately 7 1/4" in length; fitting a 6 1/2" wrist size. To adjust the length, add or subtract beads to each strand on either side respectively.
  1. Cut three strands of beading wire, 12 inches each.
  2. Place all three strands into the bead stopper, equally placed.
  3. On to each strand string rondelle beads in this order: 4 blue, 1 yellow, 4 blue, 1 yellow, 4 blue, 1 yellow, 4 blue, 1 yellow, 4 blue, 1 yellow, and 4 blue.
  4. Take the top strand, string on one crimp tube, thread the wire up though the top loop of the triple strand reducer and back down through the crimp tube. Crimp the crimp tube. Trim the excess wire. Add a crimp cover.
  5. Repeat the above step for all three strands on both sides.
  6. To one end of the strand reducer open a jump ring and attach one end of the magnetic clasp. Close the jump ring. Repeat on the other side of the bracelet.
  7. All done!
