Time required to complete project: 2 – 3 hours
Skill level:  2.5
Techniques:  Chain maille, wire wrapping
Product focus:  Artistic Wire® Chain Maille Jump Rings, chainmaille plier set, lobster clasp
Project tips: substitute a copper toggle clasp, use different colored jump rings for the mobii

Step 1: With one open ring scoop up your clasp and two closed rings. Close the ring.

Step 2: Using the side of your index finger and your thumb of your non-dominant hand, grasp the clasp and the open ring, added in step 1.  Spread-apart the two closed rings added in step 1 to make “mouse ears”.  The two closed rings will be side by side.

Step 3: Add an open ring by going down through the right ring, and up through the left ring, before closing add two closed rings.

Step 4: Spread the two closed rings added in step 3 to make “mouse ears”.  Add an open ring by going down through the right ring, and up through the left ring, before closing add two closed rings.

Step 5: Repeat the process: a) Make ”mouse ears.” b) With one open ring, scoop up the two most recently added closed rings. c) Add two closed rings; until the bracelet is the desired length.

Step 6:  With one ring scoop up the last two mouse ears you added using the same “down through the right ear and up through the left ear” pattern, close the ring. This will be the ring that the lobster clasp will attach to.

Putting “Wings” On The “Mouse Ears”:

Working on the right side of the bracelet, starting with the last rings you added, you will be adding rings down the right side of the bracelet. 

Step 7: With one open ring scoop up two “right” mouse ears, close the ring.

Step 8: With one open ring scoop up the third and second “right” mouse ears. Close the ring.

Step 9: With one open ring scoop up one new “mouse ear” and the “mouse ear” first scooped in step 8, close the ring. The new ring will sit in front of, or on top of the ring added in step 8.

Step 10: Repeat step 9 all the way down the side. Each new ring will sit in front of the previous ring added.

Step 11: Flip the bracelet over and repeat steps 8 - 10. Except this time, the rings will sit behind the previous ring added.

Making Rosettes or Mobii: Step 12:  This time you will be picking up 3 rings at a time with an open ring.  Then make a “mobis” or “rosette” with a second ring.

Step 13:  With one open ring scoop up the ring you added in step 7, the ring you added in step 8, and the ring you added in step 9, close the ring.

Step 14:  With an open ring follow the same path outlined in step 13, then go through the ring added in step 13, close the ring.

Step 15:  Repeat steps 12 - 14 all the way down the side. Turn the bracelet over and do the same thing to the other side.

Step 16:  Add wrapped loop Swarovski® Crystals Briolette’s to each of the mobii.

Step 17:  With the 18G 15/64” rings attach the Square Volcano #4439 Swarovski® Crystals down the center of the bracelet
