Instructions

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.

Note: These instructions produce a small sized bracelet (roughly six and a half inches). Since this is a cuff bracelet, you want it to be snug, but not too tight. If you feel as though you need a larger bracelet, add extra beads, whichever color you like, to each end of each strand.
  1. To begin, cut your Soft Flex beading wire into seven separate strands, each one foot long. Secure one end of each strand using a Bead Stopper.
  2. Have an extra bead stopper on hand to secure the opposite end of each strand once you have added the beads. Onto the first strand, thread the following 4mm colored gemstone beads:

  172. Remove the bead stopper from one end of your bracelet, one strand at a time, and do the following to each strand: thread on a crimp tube, but do not crimp it yet. Thread the end of your beading wire though a closed 6mm jump ring, back through the crimp tube, and pull snug. Crimp the tube and trim off excess wire.
  173. Once you have done this to each strand at one end of your bracelet, remove the bead stopper from the opposite end and do the same to each strand there.
  174. Keeping your beaded strands in the same order, connect each strand to each loop on the clasp using a 6mm open jump ring.
  175. Once all of your strands are attached to the clasp, add a crimp bead cover over each crimp tube, gently squeezing them closed with a pair of chain nose pliers after you have done so. You're all done making your fun new bracelet!
