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. Before you begin, watch our instructional video: How to Use Beadalon Flat Memory Wire Glue on Pad Findings. This video will demonstrate how to use and attach the glue on pad findings.
  2. Place a dab of glue onto the edges of a glue on pad finding, avoiding the hole. Press a pink faux pearl cabochon cab into place. Repeat with all of your findings, to give you a total of 34 pink pearl cabochons . Allow the glue to dry before continuing.
  3. Use your round nose pliers to create a simple loop on one end of your memory wire. I like to have my loops roll up away from the inside.
  4. Slide your findings onto the bracelet. Slide them all the way down to the loop.
  5. When you've attached all 34 findings, cut your memory wire about 3/8" from the end and create another simple loop.
  6. Lastly, using your chain nose pliers to open the jump ring that comes on your gold plated crystal charm and attach it onto the bottom loop and close.
  7. That's it!
