This coastal chic design offers some ocean blue sparkle with warm coconut and gold lip shell accents. This elegant piece is awaiting a summer event.

Supplies you’ll need:

  • 1.5mm microsuede cord at least 2'
  • 1 beach-style glass pendant set
  • 2 soldered jump rings
  • Brazil amazonite faceted coins
  • coconut beads
  • 6mm gold lip shell rounds
  • 16 antique silver sequin
  • clasp
  • hook and eye clasp -24 or 26 gauge wire
  • eye pins
  • super glue

Recommended tools: round nose pliers and scissors

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step

Step 1

Cut 20" of the Linhasita cord. Cut the stringing end at an angle. Slide the beads on in the order shown.

Step

Step 2

To finish, wrap the cord over the soldered jump ring and back down to create a knot. Do the same on the other side.

Step

Step 3

Cut 6" of microsuede and loop the end over the jump ring. Use the wire to wrap it tightly in place. Trim off the extra microsuede tail. Do the same at the end with the clasp jump ring. You can see this in the Step 2 image.

Step

Step 4

For the bracelet cut two 8-9" pieces of microsuede, make sure this fits your wrist. Make 3 amazonite bead links and 4 gold lip shell links. Slide on a bead and use round nose pliers to create a loop at the bottom, make sure it fits over the microsuede. Your loops should be facing the same way.

Step

Step 5

I used 2" of wire to to add some shape to the sides of the bracelet. rap the wire around tightly. Be sure the wire is flat on the back side so it doesn't poke you.

Step

Step 6

Cut the bracelet ends at an angle so it will fit into the cord end. Use the glue to attach the cord to the clasp.
