Things You'll Need:
- 12-inch strand of bright nylon coated stringing wire
- Assorted glass beads (variety of sizes, small, medium and large)
- Silver bead caps
- 3/4-inch wide silver button
- 2 #2 crimp tubes
- Crimping pliers
- Wire cutters
- 1 package of small beads
- Ruler
- Pencil
-
Step 1
Lay your wire out flat on a table top. Take your ruler and measure 12 inches of wire. Mark off the desired length with your pencil. Take your wire cutters and cut the wire.
-
Step 2
Open your small bag of beads. You will be stringing approximately 20 small beads to form a loop. Slip both ends of the beaded wire through a crimping tube. Flatten the crimp tube with the crimping pliers. Push hard to make sure the tube is completely closed. The loop you have just made will be used as your clasp holder.
-
Step 3
Pick up your wire and on the longer end begin to place your beads. The first bead will be a small bead. The small bead will be followed by a medium-sized bead. Place a bead cap next to the medium-sized bead then put the larger bead on followed by another bead cap. The three beads complete one part of your bracelet.
-
Step 4
Continue to string your beads until you have a length of 7 inches. Pick up your button. String the wire through the button holes and pull the wire tight. Push the button secure against the last bead. Pull the wire through the second crimp tube. Flatten the crimp tube with the crimping pliers. Push hard to make sure the tube is completely closed.
-
Step 5
Using your wire cutters trim off the excess wire on both ends of the bracelet. Your bracelet is now ready to be worn.
