Instructions
Cut a 10-inch length of 0.8mm Powercord® clear elastic. Gently stretch the cord to condition it before you begin stringing.
String your beads onto the elastic. To replicate this design, follow this sequence:
- One 4.5x3mm sterling silver corrugated saucer bead
- Nine 7.5–8mm fire crackle agate round beads
- One 4.5x3mm sterling silver corrugated saucer bead
- Six 8mm dendritic ocean agate round beads
- One 4.5x3mm sterling silver corrugated saucer bead
- Eight 7.5–8mm fire crackle agate round beads
- One 4.5x3mm sterling silver corrugated saucer bead
Bring the cord ends together and tie a secure surgeon’s knot, pulling firmly so the bracelet forms a snug circle.
Apply a small dab of E6000® Plus adhesive to the knot if desired. Allow the adhesive to dry completely, then trim any excess cord.
Open a 5mm 18-gauge sterling silver jump ring and attach an antique silver-plated shell charm between the two center fire crackle agate beads near the front of the bracelet. Close the jump ring securely.
