Supplies you’ll need:

  • twisted jump rings
  • crystal Czech glass rondelles
  • hammered charm
  • large hole faceted gold beads
  • seed beads

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Wrap the cord around your wrist three times and trim. Slide the beads on in the order shown. Follow the tip below for making a stretch bracelet. My bracelet knots are behind the twisted jump rings or the faceted large hole gold bead on the back of the bracelets.
