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