Coconut Shell Rondelles
African Brass Rice
Nunn Design Organic Tubes
Seed Beads in Gold & Bronze
Beading Wire
Crimp Tubes

Headpin
Jump Rings
Lobster Clasps
24 Gauge Wire

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

For the bracelet, measure a piece of beading wire to be a little longer than needed to fit your wrist. Make a small loop at one end & secure with a crimp tube & cover. Slide the beads onto the wire in the order shown in the picture. Make another loop at the end & secure with a crimp tube & cover. Attach a lobster clasp & jump ring to the loops at the end.

Step 2

For the necklace, begin by making a bead charm with a headpin & a sun coin. Use seed beads & Czech glass to make two bead links & attach them directly to the sun coin charm.

Step 3

Use wire to make bead links (connected directly to one another) with the Czech glass, Nunn Design Tubes, seed beads, & coconut until you've reached your desired length. Finish by attaching a lobster clasp & jump ring to the ends.
