Instructions
Step 1
Cut a 7-1/2 inch length of light blue 3.5-5mm bolo cord.
Step 2
Insert one end of the cord into a fold-over cord end. Using chain-nose pliers, fold the tabs of the cord end over the cord then crimp down to secure the cord end. Repeat on the opposite end of the cord.
Step 3
String one turquoise pebble onto a head pin then form a simple loop.
Step 4
Pass one 4mm jump ring through the loop on the turquoise drop and one cord end then close.
Use a 4mm jump ring to attach the arrow charm to the same cord end.
Step 5
Using a 4mm jump ring, attach the 8mm jump ring that is included with the clasp to the cord end with the charm and drop.
Use a 4mm jump ring to attach the lobster claw clasp to the opposite cord end to complete the bracelet.
