Instructions
Floating Bracelets Instructions
Step 1
Cut a 10-inch strand Accu-Flex® 49-strand 0.019-inch diameter professional-quality beading wire.
Step 2
Add a 4mm 22-gauge jump ring to a 9x4mm lobster claw clasp and set aside.
Step 3
Apply a bead stopper approximately two inches from one end of the beading wire.
Step 4
Add your desired pattern of beads, crimping a 1.1x1mm sterling silver micro tube crimp flat using the tip of chain-nose pliers before and after each bead or section of beads that you want to “float” on the beading wire. Leave approximately 1/2 inch to account for the length of the clasp and jump ring.
Step 5
When you’ve added your desired pattern of beads and your bracelet is at your desired length (7 to 7-1/4 inches is average) remove the bead stopper and crimp one end of the beading wire using a 2mm sterling silver cut tube crimp and a 3mm silver-plated round crimp cover, and adding a 5mm 18-gauge round jump ring before crimping. Then crimp the opposite end, adding on the jump ring attached to the clasp before crimping.
