Instructions

Step 1

Cut one 16-inch length of Accu-Flex® beading wire, 0.019-inch diameter. Add a seed bead fold accu flex in half and place in center.

Step 2

Attach one Hot Tips® bead tip and cover the seed bead. Secure by placing the wire into the bead tip, closing the clamp and crimping firmly.

Step 3

String wires through #6 pearl lined chartreuse bead. Separate the two strands of Accu-Flex® beading wire. String (5) Miyuki® #11 rocaille seed beads, opaque copper pearl-lined chartreuse on each wire. Thread wires into Taiwanese cheesewood 5–6mm round bead (alternate colors: light orange, light forest green, light brown), crossing wires coming out of cheesewood bead. Follow by (5) #11 seed beads again on each wire.

Step 4

Pass the two wires into #6 pearl lined chartreuse bead. Repeat step 3, seven times or until the bracelet reaches the desired length.

Step 5

After the final segment, string five #11 seed beads. Attach a second Hot Tips® bead tip using the same method as Step 2. Trim excess wire.

Step 6

Use 4mm 20-gauge gold-plated round jump rings to attach the toggle clasp: connect the bar to one bead tip loop and the ring portion to the opposite bead tip loop. Ensure all jump rings are securely closed..

Step 7

Check all connections, ensuring crimps are tight, loops are secure and the clasp functions properly.
