Criss Cross Bracelet
|
This stringing project can be done with any combination of beads. The directions below use pearls and crystals, but you can substitute as you choose.
Materials:
.012 beading wire
2mm sterling silver brite beads
4mm bicone crystals
6mm round pearls
1 3mm sterling silver bead
1 3mm sterling silver crimp cover
1 2mm crimp tube
Clasp
1. Determine the length of wire you will need:
length of finished bracelet X 4
2. Locate the center point of the wire, and string on 1 end of the clasp to this point.
3. Double the wire, then string 1 3mm silver bead and 1 4mm crystal through BOTH wires.
4. Separate the wires. String 1 2mm bead, 1 bicone, and 1 2mm bead on the first wire.
5. String 1 2mm bead, 1 bicone, 1 2mm bead and 1 pearl on the 2nd wire. Then thread the 2nd wire through the pearl from step 4 going in the opposite direction. (see diagram)
6. String 1 2mm bead, 1 4mm crystal, 1 2mm bead and a pearl on the first wire.
7. String 1 2mm bead, 1 4mm crystal, 1 2mm bead on the 2nd wire. Then thread the 2nd wire through the pearl from step 6.
8. Repeat step 6 & 7 until you reach the appropriate length. (19 - 20 pearls yields a 7" bracelet).
9. String 1 2mm bead, 1 crystal, 1 2mm bead, and 1 crystal on the 1st wire.
10. String 1 2mm bead, 1 crystal, 1 2mm bead on the 2nd wire. Then thread the 2nd wire through the last crystal from step 9.
11. String both wires through the crimp, then loop through clasp and back through crimp and crystal.
12. Crimp and add a crimp cover. Trim the excess wire, and enjoy your new braclet!
