Things You'll Need

• Mosaic beads
• Fishing line
• 3-hold clasp
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Cut three pieces of fishing line 8 inches long. For a smaller than average female wrist cut 7 inches. If this bracelet is for a male wrist cut 12 inches of line. Tie the ends of the lines individually on holes located on your three hole clasp with a double knot. Cut any leftover fishing line hanging outside of the knot.

2. Place your mosaic beads down the lines one bead at a time and one row at a time.This way you can see how the beads line up together to make your mosaic pattern. Continue to the next row of three beads. Adjust the patterns and mix colors until you get the pattern you envision.

3. Tie a knot after the last bead in each row loosely. Test on your wrist to determine if the pattern displays correctly. If you're satisfied, retie the knots after the last beads as tight as possible. This will keep the beads from sliding out of place and keep the pattern intact.

4. Tie the loose ends of the fishing line on the second half of your clasp with a double or triple knot. Additional fishing line can be cut off. Attach the bracelet to be sure the clasp works and to see how it fits.

Tips & Warnings

• Additional jump rings can be added to the clasp if it needs to be larger.
