MATERIALS AND TOOLS NEEDED:
Materials Needed
Materials used for this bracelet is based on a 7-inch long bracelet.
1 bag (approximately 20gms) of Seed beads
96 x 4mm Swarovski crystals
1 6mm pearl bead
Tools Needed
Sewing Needle measuring 12
0.25mm nylon thread approximately 2m long.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1:
Cut approximately 2m long of 0.25mm nylon thread. Thread in the sewing needles at
both ends of the thread.
Leave about 2cm tails at both ends.You will pass the beads through the needles
throughout the creation of the bracelet.
Step 2:
Let’s start making 1st line. Thread in 3 4mm crystals and let them drop to the centre
of the thread.
Add in 1 crystal by crossing the right and left threads into the hole of the crystal as
shown in the picture.
Pull the thread to tighten the beads.
Step 3:
Add in 10 seed beads each at both threads.
Cross both threads into a crystal.
Step 4:
Thread in 1 crystal each at both ends of the thread.
Add in one more crystal by crossing the right and left threads into the hole of the
crystal.
Step 5:
Repeat step 4 until you are almost reaching your desired length for the bracelet.
To end 1st line, thread in 2 crystals on and 1 crystal on the respective threads.
Step 6:
Cross the thread with 2 crystals into the crystal from another thread. Notice the cross
is at the crystal bead on your left as you are now moving to 2nd line.
Tighten the beads by pulling thread.
Step 7:
Now we are ready to form the second line.Thread in 4 crystals at one of the threads.
You will need to pass the same thread into the crystal as pointed by the arrow.
Once you cross the thread into the bead, you notice a circle is formed. Tightening it
by pulling the thread.
Step 8:
Now thread in 1 crystal on your left.
On your right, you need to pass the thread into the crystal (pointed by arrow) which
was from the first line.
Now add in another crystal and cross both threads into this crystal.
Step 9:
Add in 10 seed beads each at both threads.
Step 10:
Cross both threads into 1 crystal.
Step 11:
Pass the thread on your right into the crystal from the first line.
Now, pass 1 crystal on your left thread. Then cross both threads into 1 crystal.
Pull the thread to tighten the bracelet.
Step 12:
Continue step 9 to 11 until you reach the other end of second line. When you reach
the last set of second line, you will need to cross both threads into the crystal pointed
by the red arrow.
As we are forming a triangle at both end of the bracelet, you will need to thread in 4
crystals at the thread at the top. You will need to pass the same thread into the first
crystal as pointed by the red arrow.
You will form a circle once the same thread is passed through the crystal. Tighten
the beads by pulling the thread.
Step 13:
We are now getting ready to form the third line. Pass the lower thread through the
crystal as pointed by the arrow.
Cross both threads into 1 crystal.
Step 14:
Add 2 crystals at the upper thread. Cross both threads into 1 crystal pointed by the
arrow.
Step 15:
Continue finishing up 3rd line following step 9 to 11.
Step 16:
When you reach the other end of line 3, you would have crossed both threads into 1
crystal. From here, add in 2 crystals on your right. Pass the left thread into the crystal
next to it then cross it to the crystal from the right thread.
Tighten the beads by pulling the thread.
Step 17:
Pass the threads to the middle of the triangle, cross both threads into a 6mm pearl
bead. Then pass the threads into the bracelet until you reach the other end.
Step 18:
At the other end of the bracelet, thread in approximate 20 seed beads at one thread
and pass the same thread into the crystal to form a loop. Test out the loop to ensure
it fit nicely for the pearl at step 19 so that the bracelet can be closed. You may add or
reduce the seed beads for this purpose.
Tie a knot at the end and pass the threads back to a few beads and cut off excess
threads.
Step 19:
This is the outcome!
Step 20:
Alternatively, you may put up the bracelet clasp for the bracelet. From step 16,
pass the threads until you reach the last bead.
Step 21:
Pass the 2 threads into a cover clasp followed by a crimp bead.
Step 22:
Pass the threads back to clasp.
Step 23:
Tighten the threads and place the clasp nice before you close it using flat nose
pliers.
Repeat the same for the other end.
Step 24:
Place a jump ring followed by a bracelet clasp onto the bracelet.
At the other end of the bracelet, place a jump ring and close it.
Step 25:
This is how it will look like.
