To make this design you will be stringing on your beads in whatever order is pleasing to you. A tip is to vary the size of beads, adding several small, then medium, then large and repeat. You can follow a pattern or just add the beads randomly.
- Begin by creating a simple wire loop at the end of your memory wire. Do not pre-cut your wire. This simple wire loop will act as a bead stopper for your design.
- add a jump ring to each charm and close the jump ring.
- String on your beads in whatever pattern looks good to you and add a charm with the jump ring attached wherever you want in the design. You will string on the charm via the closed jump ring just like any other bead. Keep adding beads in a pleasing pattern until you run out of beads. At any time, you can slide your beads off and redo your pattern.
- After your last bead, leave about a 1/2 inch gap of wire and trim your wire using memory wire cutters. You do not want to use regular jewelry cutters.
- With that 1/2 inch tail, create a simple wire loop to secure and finish your bracelet.
- Place a large Citrus Green round bead onto a ball head pin. Create a simple wire loop after the bead and trim the excess wire. Attach this dangle to one of your memory wire loops on the end of your bracelet. Repeat with another ball head pin, round bead, and attach to the other loop on your bracelet.
