Instructions
Step 1
Measure the chain to fit your wrist size. Leave room to fit a clasp, and loop at either end.

Use the memory wire cutters to cut this chain.
Pro Tip: Do not use your wire cutters to cut chain. Chain is thicker and stronger than most wire. You will not want to damage your wire cutters.

Step 2
Assemble your hollow beads to inset with more flowers, and pearls to fit snug up and inside the larger hollow beads.

Use the headpins to thread the beads and pearls together.

Step 3
To make the bead baubles, thread each bauble with one headpin.

Use the flat nose pliers to form a 90 degree angle at the base of the bead.

Use the round nose pliers to make a loop, with the wire completely around the base.

Wrap the end of the bead wire around the stem of the bead a few times.

Cut off any remaining wire.

Repeat for all 17 beads.

Step 4
Arrange the glass beads and flowers, with jump rings to attach to the short links of the chain.

Use the 8mm jump rings for the glass beads.

Use the 6mm jump rings to attach the flower beads to the chain.

Step 6
Open the jump rings. Attach the glass bead and small flower beads to attach to the short chain length.

Close the jump rings.

Cut a 1 1/2 inch piece of the 18 gauge copper wire.

Use the round nose pliers to make a simple clasp.

Step 7
Turn the bracelet to attach the flowers to the other side of the chain to the longer chain links.

Attach the clasp to one end of the bracelet, and the 12mm gold closed jump ring to the other end to hold the clasp.
