Instructions
Step 1
Cut a 12-inch length of silk thread and two 1/2-inch lengths of French wire.
Step 2
String and center one length of French wire onto the silk thread. Gently bend the French wire into a U-shape.
Step 3
Using the doubled thread as one, string on a crystal pearl and a seed bead. Repeat until you reach the desired length, ending with a crystal pearl.
Step 4
String on the second length of French wire. Pass back through the last pearl and tie a small knot around the core thread. If desired, pass through a few more beads and repeat for added security. Add a small drop of glue to the knots.
Step 5
Use jump rings to attach each half of a toggle clasp to the loops at the ends of the bracelet.
