These instructions will give you a bracelet that is 6.5" long with a chain extender to give you up to 8 inches in length. To adjust the size simply modify the length of ultra suede used.
- Begin by cutting a strip of ultra suede 3/4 of an inch wide and 6 inches long.
- Attach a ribbon crimp to each end.
- Using your Hot FX tool, you will now place the Austrian crystal rhinestones to the ultra suede. You can follow along with my placement (see photo) or design your own. I suggest placing them before using the tool to secure them.
- Open one jump ring and attach it to the loop of the lobster clasp and to one loop of the ribbon crimp. Close the jump ring.
- Open another jump ring and attach it to the last link in the chain extender and to one loop of the second ribbon crimp. Close the jump ring.
