    Quick Project Steps

    Feel the calmness and soothing effect of these 5 strands of natural gemstones. This PotomacBeads tutorial shows you just how easy it is to make the Stay Grounded bracelet. 1. Pick up one of the gemstones, leaving a little bit of a tail thread. Pass through the first loop in the clasp and go back through the gemstone. Tie a knot to keep the bead in place. Continue to string the pattern of your choice on the strand. 2. When you’ve reached the length that you need for your gemstone bracelet, attach the thread to the other half of the clasp. Be careful to have the clasp facing the proper direction to match the other side. Thread through the loop and back through all the beads. Tie a square knot at the end, burn down the loose ends. 3. Repeat the steps to create the next 4 strands of the bracelet. Glue the Potomac crystal long oval into the clasp. Choose the gemstones of your liking and make the pattern of your choice. This Stay Grounded bracelet is a flexible design that’s suited for all occasions and would make an excellent gift.
