Blue Forest Bracelet Instructions Designed by Cynthia Kimura
Images of floating mountains, brilliantly green forests and blue waters inspired this bracelet design. Full of fluidity, this bracelet is a sparkling ode to the beauty one finds in nature.
Step One: Cut three 9-inch pieces of ZambaPro 49 .019 jewelry wire. Crimp one end of the wires to a 5.8mm sterling silver open jump ring using a 3x3mm sterling silver crimp tube. Instead of a crimping tool, we used a pair of chain nose pliers to flatten the crimp. Trim any excess wire.
