Retired - Stars Stripes Forever Bracelet

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. Cut a length of the star charm chain at approximately six and a half inches long.
2. Thread a red Austrian crystal bicone onto a ball head pin. Create the beginning of a wrapped wire loop. Create six more of these using red bicones, seven more using white bicones, and an additional seven using blue bicones.
3. Link the bicone dangles onto the star charm chain in a red, white, and blue pattern, skipping a chain link between each dangle. Once each bicone is in place, complete each wrapped wire loop and trim off excess wire.
4. Open two oval jump rings. Use one of the jump rings to connect the bar half of a toggle clasp to one end of the chain, use the other jump ring to connect the other half of the toggle clasp to the other end of the chain. Close both jump rings again.
