Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step

Step 1

The video above shows how to finish this bracelet. Please watch it at the end. Follow the steps below to get started.

Cut 30" of thread.

Image 1: Slide a crimp tube to the center of the cord. Fold the cord in half.

Image 2: Cross the threads through the crimp tube hole. The threads should form an "X" through your bead.

Image 3: Use crimping pliers to crimp the crimp tube.

Image 4: Crimped tube

Image 5: Cover the crimped tube with the ball chain crimp cover. If you want, you can add a dot of super glue into the crimp cover before closing.

Image 6: You can use pliers to close the crimp cover.

See Tip: Crimping Basics

Step

Step 2

Cut the thread ends with sharp scissors. This way, you can thread a needle onto each end easily.

Image 1: Slide a yellow bead onto one thread tail.

Image 2: Take the other thread tail and cross it through the yellow bead hole. The threads should form an "X" through your bead. Pull gently to tighten.

Image 3: Slide 4 yellow beads onto each thread tail.

Step

Step 3

Image 1: Slide a hessonite bead onto one of the threads.

Image 2: Take the other needle and slide it through the hessonite bead as well.

Image 3: Both cords should be going up through the bead.

Image 4: Fold the hessonite bead forward, towards you. It should form a heart shape. Make sure the cords are separated and not twisted.

Image 5: Take the needle on the right and feed it up through the 4 yellow seed beads. Tighten lightly.

Image 6: Take the left needle and feed it through the 4 yellow seed beads on the left.

Image 7: Gently pull both threads up to tighten.

Step

Step 4

Image 1: Cross the thread through a yellow bead. The threads should form an "X" through your bead. Pull to tighten the bead down to finish the flower.

Image 2: Slide 3 green beads onto each thread tail.

Image 3: Cross the thread through a yellow bead. The threads should form an "X" through your bead. Pull to tighten the bead down to start a new flower.

Image 4: Slide 4 yellow beads onto each thread tail. Now we are starting over again, so you can keep repeating Steps 2-4 until your bracelet is long enough.
