Instructions
Bracelet 1 Instructions
Step 1
Cut one 20-inch length of Powercord®.
Step 2
String one Accu-Guard™ wire protector onto the length of Powercord. Slide the Accu-Guard to the center of the length of cord so there are two equal lengths of tail.
Step 3
String your desired pattern of Tila® and Half Tila beads onto both ends of Powercord, adding a gold-finished 2.5mm round onto each end between the sets of Tila beads (approximately every 3/4 inches).
Step 4
When the desired pattern is finished, string one end of Powercord through one hole of an Accu-Guard wire protector then string the other end of Powercord through the other hole of the same Accu-Guard.
Tie a surgeon's knot using both ends of Powercord, positioning the knot so it sits in the channel of the Accu-Guard adjacent to the hole.
Step 5
Pass one 4.5mm jump ring through one Accu-Guard and one loop of a druzy agate link then close. Repeat to complete the bracelet.
Bracelets 2 and 3 Instructions
Step 1
Cut two 10-inch lengths of Powercord. Place the two lengths adjacent to each other with the ends matched up then place one end of both cords into a Bead Stopper™.
Step 2
String your desired pattern of Tila® and Half Tila beads onto both ends of Powercord, adding a gold-finished 2.5mm round onto each end between the sets of Tila beads (approximately every 3/4 inches), ending the pattern with a 2.5mm round on both lengths of Powercord.
Step 3
Remove the Bead Stopper from one length of Powercord then tie a surgeon's knot using both ends of the same cord. Repeat with the other length of Powercord. Slide the beads down the Powercord so the surgeon's knots are hidden in the hole of the 2.5mm rounds.
Step 4
Repeat Steps 1 - 3 to create a second bracelet.
Earring Instructions
Step 1
Open the end of two beading hoops. String onto the end of both beading hoops: one Tila bead, two Half Tila beads and one gold-finished 2.5mm round. Repeat this pattern five times.
String two Half Tila beads and one Tila bead onto both ends of the beading hoop.
Step 2
Crimp the beading hoops closed then add a drop of Devcon® 5-Minute Epoxy for additional security. Set aside to cure.
Step 3
Pass one 6mm jump ring through the loop of both beading hoops and one ear wire then close.
Step 4
Repeat Steps 1 - 3 to create a second earring.
