This bracelet measures approximately 7.5 inches. To make the bracelet shorter or longer, simply adjust the wire length.
- Begin by cutting 13.5 inches of wire with your flush cutters. (I've already included 3 additional inches of wire needed for each side to allow for crimping).
- String on a crimp tube through your wire, add the loop of your antiqued silver lobster clasp and bring 3" of your wire back through your crimp tube.
- Pull the wire snug, and crimp your crimp tube. Snip off any excess wire from the short end.
- Now you will begin to string on your beads, remembering to use a bead stopper when needed.
- Begin sliding your beads onto your wire in the following order: 1 Black Diamond tear drop bead, 1 Olivine dagger bead, 1 Amethyst tear drop bead and another Olivine dagger bead. Repeat this sequence 16 more times, ending with a Black Diamond tear drop bead. Refer to photo for pattern assistance.
- Once all your beads are on, slide on another crimp tube and an antiqued silver jump ring and bring the wire back through the crimp tube. Pull snug and crimp your crimp bead using your crimping pliers. Snip off any excess wire from the short end with your flush cutters.
- Lastly, open up a jump ring with your pliers and slide it through the loop on your Green Girl Studios bunny charm. Before closing, slide the jump ring through the loop on your lobster clasp as well. Close with your pliers.
- You're done!
