Retired - Winter's Dawn 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. Your European Style bracelet has two smart bead stoppers already attached: one near the lobster clasp and one near the loop on the other end. Slide the smart bead stopper near the loop off of the bracelet. Set it aside for now.
2. Take 1 sterling silver head pin and string 1 Austrian crystal crystal denim blue round bead. Make a simple wire loop and cut off the excess wire with flush cutters.
3. Take your crystal bead component from the previous step and open the wire loop the same way you would open a jump ring. Slide on the loop of 1 sterling silver bail bead. Close the wire loop.
4. Repeat steps 2-3 three more times, so you have three silver bail beads with dangling crystal beads attached.
5. Now you will begin stringing your beads. Slide on 1 silver bail with attached crystal dangle and slide it down to the bead stopper positioned 1/2 inch from the clasp. Then string 1 Crystal Golden Shadow pave slim bead, 1 Crystal Golden Shadow rondelle bead, and 1 Crystal Golden Shadow pave slim bead. Then add 1 sterling silver smart bead stopper. See the photo for reference.
6. Slide on another sterling silver smart bead stopper, about 1 inch away from the last bead stopper strung. Then string 1 silver bail with attached crystal dangle, 1 BeCharmed pave snowflake bead, 1 Crystal Golden Shadow pave stopper bead, 1 BeCharmed pave blue medley bead, 1 Crystal Golden Shadow pave stopper bead, 1 BeCharmed pave snowflake bead, and 1 silver bail with attached crystal dangle. Then add 1 sterling silver smart bead stopper.
7. Slide on another sterling silver smart bead stopper, about 1 inch away from the last bead stopper strung. Then string 1 Crystal Golden Shadow pave slim bead, 1 Crystal Golden Shadow rondelle bead, 1 Crystal Golden Shadow pave slim bead, and 1 silver bail with attached crystal dangle. Then slide the smart bead stopper you removed in step 1 back onto the bracelet.
8. Your bracelet is finished!
