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.

These instructions will make a 6.5 inch bracelet. For a longer or shorter bracelet, choose your desired lengths of gemstone chain and braided cork cord respectively. Note: For a longer bracelet, you will need to purchase more gemstone chain and braided cork cord. We recommend using an extra 2 inches of cork cord and gemstone chain in the design process, to allow for cut links and sizing flexibility. You will also need a toothpick or scrap of wire to complete this project.

To see how to create this bracelet from start to finish, please watch the video: How to Make a Bracelet Using Braided Cork Cord and Gemstone Chain. In this video, you will see how to assemble this design using oval jump rings, 22 gauge wire, a bead cap, and cord ends. The video includes helpful tips for how to taper and measure materials for a comfortable fit.
