Instructions
Cut one 10-inch length of Powercord® 0.8mm diameter clear elastic cord.
String one Miyuki® #8 opaque silver-plated rocaille seed bead, followed by one Celestial Crystal® 6x4mm rondelle bead. Continue adding one seed bead between each rondelle bead. Repeat pattern 20 times. Add eight Crystal Passions® 6mm jet bicone beads.
Check the fit by wrapping the bracelet around the wrist. Adjust spacing if necessary for a comfortable fit. Tie the ends of the elastic using a secure surgeon’s knot. Pull firmly to remove slack.
Apply a small drop of E6000® Plus adhesive to the knot if desired. Allow the adhesive to dry, then trim the excess cord and tuck the knot into an adjacent bead.
Open a 4.5mm 22-gauge silver-plated round jump ring. Attach a “BOO” charm to the knot area or directly onto a nearby bead section. Close the jump ring securely.
Gently stretch the bracelet to ensure durability and confirm all components are secure.
