Step 1
Decide which order you want to see your beads and lay them out on a tray/matt.
Thread half your beads onto a strand of elastic measuring approx. 15".
Step 2
Next thread on your bail or charm carrier.
Step 3
Thread on more beads until your bracelet is the required length (allow 20mm for your clasp).
Step 4
Thread a crimp bead onto each end.
Pass each end of the thread through a jump ring.
Step 5
Thread back through each crimp bead and into the beads.
Crimp the beads to secure.
Step 6
Using 2 more small jump rings, attach a lobster claw to one end and a Large jump ring to the other.
If your bail/charm carrier has an openable loop, open the loop to add your charm and carefully close it again OR using a further small jump ring, attach your charm to the bail/carrier bead.
