Instructions
Step 1
Be sure to lay out your mat when cutting wire so you don't scratch up your work surface.
Using your flush cutters, cut 5 lengths of 4" Seafoam wire; 5 lengths of 4" American Blue wire and 5 lengths of 4" Antique Copper wire.
Using the Wubber's pliers, wrap the wire end around the smaller jaw and complete a loop. Repeat for all wire pieces.

Step 2
Make 5 of the Antique Copper links by gripping the wire with your chain- or bent-nose pliers and wrapping the wire loosely around itself creating a wide, open coil.

Step 3
Work harden and texture the links with your chasing hammer and bench block. This is an optional step if you choose heavier gauge wire. But if you're using thinner wire, it will work harden the wire and strengthen your bracelet.

Step 4
At the end of the wire, use the Wubber's pliers and wrap the wire around the small jaw in a perpendicular angle.

Step 7
Connect a crystal link to a copper link by opening up the copper loop, inserting the crystal link loop and closing the loop in a similar way you open and close a jump ring.
