To start, measure your wrist. This will be the base for all your measurements, chain and bead stringing. For the chain part, you can wear it as a necklace with all elements connected or as a double wrap bracelet. So multiply your wrist measurement by 2 and cut the chain to size. On one side, place the clasp with a 3mm ring. Then string the donut bead before placing the second clasp at the other end. Then open an 8mm (or 6mm) ring and attach the heart pendant. This can be placed directly in the clasp, added or removed as you wish.

For the beaded part... Cut a nylon thread about 30cm. String a crimp bead then the clasp before passing back through the crimp bead. Place the elements at one end of the thread keeping about 2cm. Flatten the bead with flat pliers. The small end of the thread will be tucked into the beads to prevent it from pricking you! Then string the mother-of-pearl beads alternating with small Miyuki beads. Continue until the size of your wrist. To finish, place a crimp bead, the other part of the clasp before passing back through the crimp bead and about 2cm of beads. Pull on the thread while keeping flexibility in the beads. Then flatten the crimp bead. |
To finish you can create a natural stone pendant. Choose your stone, a raw stone, a point... Cut a flexible 0.4mm brass thread about 20cm long. If your stone is drilled, pass the thread through the hole, otherwise you can wrap the thread directly around it. For safety, if your stone is smooth and without a hole, you can place a small drop of glue under the passages of the brass thread. Then, wrap the thread around 2/3 turns, your two thread ends meet towards the top of the stone. With the first thread, make a "wrapped" loop then wrap the remaining thread around itself (making sure to take some with the 2nd thread). Cut flush then wrap the 2nd thread, around 2 turns to lock it, then cut flush. And there you go! Beautiful creation! |
