Instructions

  1. To begin the bracelet, select 3 Dazzleberry beads from each of the 3 styles. You will need 9 total beads to make the 9 links required for an average length bracelet.
  2. Start to make the links by stringing 1 re rochaille bead and 1 dazzleberry bead followed by 1 re rochaille bead onto a 1 ¼” head pin. Using the round nose pliers, form a plain loop to finish the link. Repeat this step with the additional 8 selected Dazzzleberry beads.
  3. Arrange the 9 completed links in the desired pattern, alternating the 3 different style for the best effect. One at a time, connect the links together by opening one end of the loop, connecting to the next link and closing the loop. When all the links have been connected, attach 1 jump ring to each end of the bracelet.
  4. To finish the bracelet, attach each part of the toggle clasp to each end of the bracelet using the jump rings.
