Instructions
Step 1
Using a pair of chain-nose pliers and flat-nose pliers, open a jumpring. Pass the open jumpring through a loop on one end of the clasp. Close the jumpring. Repeat to attach two jumprings to each of the loops on the first side of the clasp and then two jumprings to each of the loops on the opposite side of the clasp.
First Strand
Step 2
Using the flush-cutters, cut a 12-inch length of beading wire.
Step 3
String onto the wire one crimp tube, a 1/2 inch piece of French wire and the first jumpring attached to the first loop on one half or the clasp. Pass the wire back through the crimp leaving one end of the wire approximately 1-inch long. Pull the crimp tight against the French wire and the jumpring so the French wire is shaped into a nicely curved tube. Place a small amount of gel adhesive inside the crimp (optional). Using the crimping pliers, crimp the crimp tube. Using flush-cutters, trim excess wire from the short end.

String onto the beading wire components to equal the length of your bracelet, minus the size of the clasp. You can follow the pattern in the finished design or create your own.
