Retired - The Mint Sea 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. Begin by taking one of your silver plated barrel cord ends and add in a few dabs of Super New glue. Gently place one end of your 7" length of cork cord into the glue. Hold in place until dry.
2. Repeat with the other end of your cork cord length and glue into your second barrel cord end.
3. Next, take your 2" silver plated eye pin and string on 6 pieces of sea glass beads (I looked through my selection of sea glass and chose the pieces that looked the best together, size and shape-wise). Once all the beads are on, create a simple wire loop and snip off any excess wire using your flush cutters.
4. Using your chain nose pliers, open a silver plated jump ring and slide it onto the loop of one of your cord ends. Before closing, also slide it onto the simple loop on one end of your eye pin. Close the jump ring.
5. Repeat with the second cord end and second simple loop on your eye pin.
6. All done!
