Instructions

Add some pizzazz to your fashion accessories with this colorful anklet! Master one simple technique and you're on your way – and with a rainbow of color, it will coordinate with anything in your wardrobe.
Tip: Exposed wire and E beads combine to produce fun and fashionable results in this little anklet. Try using the same technique to make a matching necklace and bracelet.

  1. Measure out two 14 in. lengths of Beadalon 19 Strand wire. Hold both wires together and place a crimp bead 1/2 in. from the end. String the wires through half of the clasp and back into the crimp bead to form a loop. Using the crimper, secure the crimp bead.
  2. Place each strand through the opposite side of a blue E bead. Pull the strands gently until the bead is vertical and the strand ends are even. Repeat the technique using a red bead. Adjust the wire between the first two beads to about 1/8–1/4 in. String beads in the following color order: blue, red, orange, yellow, pink, green until the desired length is reached.
  3. Hold the wire ends together and string a crimp bead 1/2 in. from the end. String the ends through half of the clasp and place them back into the crimp bead to form a loop. Using the crimper, secure the crimp bead to finish the anklet.
