Sheer Bliss Bracelet p.25

Cut three 30cm pieces of elastic thread. Thread 10 of one colour bead on to a string of elastic, repeat for each string using a different colour for each.

Position the beads to the middle of the threads, then add a Swarovski spacer bar either side of the beads. Temporarily tie 2 strings so the beads don’t fall off, & working on the untied string add 6 beads to either end. Add a charm carrier to one end, tie the elastic, add a dab of glue & hide the knot under the charm carrier.

Repeat step 2 for the other 2 strings, but add an extra bead to the firepolish string instead of a charm carrier. Tie a ribbon bow over the knot on this strand. To finish, use a jump ring to add a heart charm to one charm carrier & a triangle bail to add a Swarovski wild heart to the other.
