Instructions:

  1. Take one of your silver plated ball head pins and thread onto it 1 Swarovski 4mm bicone in light siam red, 1 lucite tulip lily of the valley flower bead cap in frosted crystal, 1 lucite violet flower in matte siam red. Create a wrapped wire loop after the flower and cut off excess wire with flush cutters. Create 4 more of these.

  2. Cut a 10" length of beading wire. Place a bead stopper on one end.

  3. Thread onto your wire, 1 crimp bead. Next thread:
    • 3 Swarovski 4mm bicones in siam red
    • 1 lucite tulip lily of the valley flower bead cap in frosted crystal
    • 2 Swarovski 4mm bicones in siam red
    • another lucite tulip lily of the valley flower bead cap in frosted crystal
    • another 2 Swarovski 4mm bicones in siam red

  4. Next string onto your beading wire:
    • 2 Czech glass dagger spear beads in sapphire
    • 1 Swarovski 4mm bicone in siam red
    • one of your flower head pins from step 1
    • another Swarovski 4mm bicone in siam red
    • 5 Czech glass dagger spear beads in sapphire
    • 1 Swarovski 4mm bicone in siam red
    • one of your flower head pins from step 1
    • another Swarovski 4mm bicone in siam red
    • 5 Czech glass dagger spear beads in sapphire
    • 1 Swarovski 4mm bicone in siam red
    • one of your flower head pins from step 1

  5. For the second half of your bracelet, make it a mirror image of the first. Make sure you end in a crimp bead.

  6. Right after you have strung the crimp bead onto your beading wire, string one half of your clasp through the loop at the bottom. Thread your beading wire back through the crimp bead and several beads next to it. Pull snug and crimp. Cut off excess wire with flush cutters.

  7. Remove your bead stopper from the other end of your bracelet. String the second half of your clasp through the hoop at the bottom. Thread the beading wire back through the crimp bead and several beads next to it. Pull snug and crimp. Cut off any excess wire.

Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
