  • Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather all beads, the tube clasp, and crimp tubes as listed.
    Strand Preparation: Begin with the focal strand (middle), using 8mm Czech pearls, and design your pattern. Use smaller beads towards the ends to prevent clustering at the clasp.
    Stringing Beads: Follow your pattern, alternating between Czech pearls, crystal rondelles, and Miyuki seed beads. Ensure the focal strand is pearl-heavy.
    Attaching to Clasp: Start with the middle strand for crimping to the tube clasp, ensuring an even length across all strands. Repeat the process for the remaining strands.
    Adjusting Lengths: Ensure all strands are of equal length for a balanced finish. Adjust by adding or removing beads as necessary.
    Final Crimping: Secure all strands to both ends of the clasp with crimp tubes. Ensure no extra wire is showing for a neat finish.
    Customization: Feel encouraged to vary the beads and colors to make the bracelet uniquely yours.
