Tutorial : Crystal Bracelet #4
Level : Beginner



Warning : Heavy pictures under cut





Well, this one is kinda easy. Have it your style then.



You don't need much equipment here. Chain, headpin, o-ring, clasp, cutting plier, round-nose plier and your favorite beads from your stock.

1.



Cut the chain about your wrist length. Add O-ring and clasp. This kind of bracelet should not be too fit around your wrist. Make it loose!

2.



This is the funniest part. Line up your beads! You can put any bead your want, any style, any shape, any color, Swarovski, Czech, glass beads, whatever! Line them up to see if you like it.

3.



Now comes the hard part. You have to put O-ring or headpin into your beads. For beads that have hole at a side such as heart or drop, you have to use O-ring. Try to fit the ring into the hole.

4.



For most beads, you must use headpin. Put headpin into the bead and use tool to bend the pin.

5.



Normally for doing the loop, we need around 8 or 10 mm. So use cutting tool to remove the unnecessary length.

6.



Use round-nose plier to form a loop.

For me, this is the most difficult part or I did not practice using tool enough. I always end up making very ugly loop. And you have to be very careful when using tool. It's not very friendly with your beads. You don't want to scratch your beads, I'm sure. So be careful.

7.



Now, hang your beads to a chain.



You get lovely bracelet for every occasion.
