Instructions

  1. Cut four 12 in. (30.5cm) lengths of Beadalon 49 Strand silver plated stringing wire.
  2. Using a crimp tube, attach one wire to each outer loop on a ring end connector. Attach two wires to the center loop.
  3. String a black bead onto an outer wire. String a center wire through the opposite end of the same bead. Repeat for the other set of wires.
  4. Hold the center wires together and string a purple bead.
  5. String a purple bead and a black bead onto an outer wire. String a center wire through the opposite end of the black bead to form a circle. Repeat for the other set of wires.
    Tip: To create consistent circles, adjust the wire tension as you bead. Use a ruler to measure the diameter of the circles for even sizing.
  6. Continue to bead, repeating steps 4 and 5 until the beaded section measures 4 1/2 to 5 in. (11.43cm - 12.7cm). Then use crimp tubes to attach the wires to the other ring end connector, as in Step 2.
  7. Use a jump ring to attach a clasp to one end of the bracelet. Cut a length of medium curb chain to serve as an extension chain and attach to the other end.
