Instructions
Cut 10 inches of 0.8mm elastic cord. Pre-stretch the cord to prevent future loosening.
Begin stringing your design, starting from one side of the focal area. Create the following pattern:
- (1) malachite 10mm bead
- (1) gold seed bead
- Repeat this sequence for a total of (13) malachite beads, each separated by (12) gold seed beads.
Add (3) crystal rondelles.
String (1) 10mm pearl as the center focal bead.
Add (3) more crystal rondelles.
Once all beads are strung, check the fit by wrapping the bracelet around your wrist. Adjust spacing if needed.
Tie the ends of the elastic cord using a secure surgeon’s knot (right over left, left over right, then repeat).
Add a drop of E6000® Plus clear elastic to the knot for added security.
