How to make a crystal beads bracelet – tutorial:

Step 1:

Choose a beading wire of appropriate thickness and length. Make a knot near one end of the beading wire.

Step 2:

Insert the string into the hole of the screw clasp so the open end of the clasp faces away from the wire.

Step 3:

Slide white crystal beads. I slid 13 of them.Step 4:

Then one acrylic black pillow bead is slid.Step 5:

…followed by this ring like spacer bead.Step 6:

Continue by alternating between black and white pillow beads separated by spacer beads.

Step 7:

Now again slide equal number of white crystal beads like the other side.

Step 8:

Now to attach the other part of the clasp to the wire, first insert a head pin into the clasp as shown.Step 9:

Make a basic loop with the head pin. You could use round nose pliers and flat nose pliers to make this loop.Step 10:

Tie the loose end of the string to the loop. Ensure it is secured well and trim off any excess wire.
