4th of July Bracelet Instructions

Express your patriotism with this Fourth of July bracelet. Wear it year round to show your pride in America. To make a matching necklace go to the Necklace section of Ideas in the Learning Center and click on Patriotic Necklace.

Step one: Cut a length of ZambaPro™ 49 .019 to approximately 9 inches. Crimp one end of the wire to a figure eight connector using a 2x2mm crimp tube. For detailed instructions on how to use a crimp tube, please see the Handy Tips section of the Learning Center. Begin stringing with a double granulation Bali spacer bead. Follow with a 6mm white Swarovski pearl, Bali star spacer, another pearl, spacer, pearl then double granulation spacer followed by a 5mm Capri blue Swarovski bicone. Repeat that segment and instead of the blue bicone add a light Siam Swarovski bicone. Repeat the entire thing with a blue then a red bicone and finish with the three pearl pattern and a double granulation spacer.

Step two: Crimp the other end of the wire to a small sterling swivel clasp. Make the removable clasp by attaching the charm to an open jump ring and then to a sterling silver spring ring. Attach the spring ring to the figure eight connector. If you want to change your charm, it is easy to do with this clasp mechanism.
