Instructions
Bracelet Instructions
Step 1
Cut a 10-inch length of 0.019-inch diameter 49-strand pearl Accu-Flex beading wire.
Step 2
Create a crimped end on one end of the 10-inch Accu-Flex, using a 2mm sterling silver crimp tube, a 4mm sterling silver Accu-Guard™ wire protector and a 3mm sterling silver crimp cover. For instructions on creating a crimp, watch the video or read the instructions here.
Step 3
String on your desired pattern of beads. This bracelet uses a pattern of several sterling silver beaded rondelle and smooth saucer beads, followed by three 4mm round chrysoprase beads. Repeat until you come to the desired length—about 6.75 inches of beads in this example.
Step 4
Create a crimped end, using a 2mm sterling silver crimp tube, a 4mm sterling silver Accu-Guard™ wire protector and a 3mm sterling silver crimp cover.
Open a 4mm 20-gauge sterling silver jump ring. Attach the unicorn charm and a lobster claw clasp to the jump ring. Then attach the jump ring to one end of the bracelet. For instructions on opening and closing jump rings, watch the video or read the instructions here.
Open a 5.5mm 20-gauge sterling silver jump ring. Attach it to the opposite side of the bracelet.
