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.

These instructions will give you a bracelet that is 8".

Cut 12" of beading wire.
On one end of your wire, thread the wire through a gold crimp tube and one end of the gold magnetic clasp. Thread the wire back down through the crimp bead and pull snug. You should have about two inches of beading wire slack on one side with your 10" on the other.
Crimp the crimp tube around the wire.
Now begin threading your beads: 3 nut beads, 1 pearl, 3 nut beads, 1 pearl, 3 nut beads, 1 pearl, 3 nut beads, 1 pearl, 3 nut beads, 1 pearl, 3 nut beads, 1 pearl, 3 nut beads, 1 pearl, 3 nut beads. 7 total pearls; 24 total nut beads.
At this time you will simply repeat the first instruction with the crimp bead and clasp on this side. Be sure to pull snug on the wire so the breads won't slide around too much.
Any excess wire you have can be threaded back through the bracelet, or trimmed.
