Feel free to change the pattern of the flatback crystals—have fun! You will also need some toothpicks for this project to use as glue applicators.
- Looking at the photo, and using a toothpick, place a dot of E6000 glue where you want to put a flatback on the TierraCast fern leaf focal. Then using your rhinestone pick-up tool, pick up and place a flatback crystal onto the glue. Follow the pattern in the photograph and place each flatback one by one. Do this for all three leaves and let dry overnight.
- Place an Olive bead onto an eye pin. Create a simple wire loop right after the Olive bead. Trim excess wire. Create a total of 4 of these.
- To connect your bracelet, you will be opening and closing the simple wire loops on the eye pin/crystal combos. You will open and close them just like jump rings. Connect your bracelet in the following order: half a clasp, crystal/eye pin, fern leaf, crystal/eye pin, fern leaf, crystal/eye pin, fern leaf, crystal/eye pin, 2nd half of the clasp. All done. Enjoy!
