Instructions:
- Open a jump ring, thread it through the loop on the winged heart pendant, and close it again. Set this aside.
-
Cut about six inches of the beading wire.
-
Thread a crimp bead onto the wire about an inch from the end. Do not crimp it yet.
-
Thread the same end of the wire through one of the round connector links, and back through the crimp bead. Crimp it down.
-
Thread the opposite end of the wire through the following:
- a scroll square bead
- a red cathedral bead
- a 4mm rondelle bead
- the winged heart pendant
- a 4mm rondelle bead
- a red cathedral bead
- a scroll square bead.
-
Thread a crimp bead onto the wire, but do not crimp it yet.
-
Thread the end of the wire through the other round connector link, back through the crimp bead, and crimp it down. Trim off any excess wire.
-
Place a crimp bead cover over each crimp bead and gently close.
-
Cut two pieces of the waxed cotton thread six inches long.
-
Thread each piece of waxed cord through each of the round connector links and fold each in half.
-
Thread a large rondelle onto each doubled-up waxed cord.
-
Dip the very ends of your cord into E6000 adhesive and insert them into the cord ends, one half of the bracelet into the hook part of the cord ends, the other into the eye part.
-
Using a narrow pair of chain nose pliers, such as the XTL-5450, crimp down on the center part of the cord ends.
