Instructions:

1. If you are not already familiar with square stitch, please watch our instructional video before proceeding. To begin, you must create the square stitched spacer segments of the bracelet. You will make a total of five segments; four which consist of seven rows of three 8/0 gunmetal seed beads, and one segment which consists of seven rows of five 8/0 gunmetal seed beads. After you have completed each of these segments, tie a double overhand knot between two beads and weave in the remainder of your thread. Set all five square stitched segments aside.


2. Use your flush cutters to cut seven pieces of Soft Touch beading wire at one foot long each.


3. Thread a crimp bead onto one end of each strand, about two inches down from the end.


4. Thread each end through its own closed jump ring, back through the crimp bead, and pull the wire snug- leaving some wiggle room for the jump ring. Crimp each crimp bead.


5. Thread each of these wire strands through each of the seven rows of one of the three-bead wide square stitched spacer segments.


6. Onto the first strand, thread the following: one 11/0 gunmetal seed bead and thirteen silver 11/0 seed beads. Thread the first strand through the first row of a three-bead wide square stitched spacer segment. Now thread thirteen silver 11/0 seed beads and seven 11/0 gunmetal seed beads. Thread this same first strand through the first row of the five-bead wide square stitched spacer segment. Now thread on one 11/0 gunmetal seed bead and thirteen silver 11/0 seed beads. Thread the first strand through the first row of a three-bead wide square stitched spacer segment. Now thread thirteen silver 11/0 seed beads and seven 11/0 gunmetal seed beads. Thread the strand through the first row of the final three-bead wide square stitched spacer segment.


7. Onto the end of the first strand, thread a crimp bead. Thread the end of the strand through a closed jump ring, back through the crimp bead, pull the wire snug, and crimp the bead.

21. Open fourteen oval jump rings. Add an oval jump ring to each of the closed jump rings on both ends of the bracelet.


22. Separate a five-strand tube clasp, and place each half next to each end of your bracelet.


23. Since there are seven strands in this bracelet and only five loops on the clasp, you must link the three center oval jump rings to the single, centermost loop on the clasp. Link the remaining oval jump rings to each corresponding loop on the clasp.


24. Repeat previous step on the other half of the bracelet and close all of your jump rings once more.
